After erupting for six runs in the seventh inning to win the first game, 7-3, the Expos posted a 5-3 victory in the second game to complete the sweep of a doubleheader with the Phillies. A homer by Greg Luzinski gave the Phillies a 1-0 lead in the lidlifter before the Expos knocked out Steve Carlton and roughed up Ron Reed in their big inning. Tony Perez, leading off, started the fireworks with a double and completed it with a run-scoring single while batting for the second time. Andre Dawson drove in two runs with a single.

Ross Grimsley, signed as a free agent from the Orioles on a multi-year, million-dollar contract, gained his third straight victory in the nightcap with the help of Stan Bahnsen, who relieved in the ninth inning. The Phillies again took a 1-0 lead with a homer, this time by Mike Schmidt, but the Phillies' third baseman later committed two errors and Larry Christenson allowed a run on a wild pitch when the Expos clinched the decision in the fifth inning.
