After homers by Jerry Martin and Garry Maddox helped produce a 6-1 victory in the first game, Mike Schmidt and Bake McBride took over the hitting roles to pace the Phillies to a similar 6-1 victory in the second game to complete the sweep of a twi-night doubleheader with the Cubs. In the opener, the Phillies were locked in a tight game and held a lead of only 2-1 until the seventh inning when Martin homered, Larry Bowa doubled, Greg Luzinski singled and Maddox homered to put four runs on the scoreboard. Ivan DeJesus homered for the Cubs' lone run off Dick Ruthven, who made his second start and gained his first victory since coming back to the Phillies in a deal with the Braves.

In the nightcap, the Phillies scored three runs in the first inning on singles by McBride and Bowa, a triple by Schmidt and single by Luzinski. Their other trio counted in the seventh. McBride knocked in a pair with a single and crossed the plate himself on a double by Bowa. [The Sporting News]
