Although tagged for 10 hits, Steve Carlton kept them scattered and pitched the Phillies to a 3-0 victory over the Giants. Mike Schmidt led off the Phillies' first inning with a homer. Two other runs that helped the Phillies break their five-game losing streak counted in the fifth on a single by Bake McBride, double by Tim McCarver and single by Carlton. [The Sporting News]
