After giving up three runs in the second inning, Chris Short allowed only two hits in the last seven stanzas and pitched the Phillies to a 6-3 victory over the Cubs for his first winning performance since July 2. The Cubs counted on a single by Randy Hundley, a homer by Ron Santo, single by Phil Gagliano, double by Johnny Callison and sacrifice fly by Don Kessinger.

Ron Stone singled to drive in one of the Phillies' two runs in the fourth and added two RBIs with a single in the seventh. In between, the Phillies counted twice in the fifth. Tony Taylor singled, stole second and scored on a single by Denny Doyle. After a walk to Johnny Briggs, Doyle crossed the plate when Glenn Beckert threw wildly on an infield hit by Deron Johnson.
