With Mike Schmidt getting the key hits, the Phillies posted a 5-3 decision over the Padres. Schmidt led off the third inning with a double and scored on a single by Bake McBride. Singles by Garry Maddox and Bob Boone opened the Phillies' sixth and, after a fielder's choice and walk to Larry Christenson loaded bases, Schmidt connected for a double to put the Phillies ahead, 5-2.
