Deron Johnson hit homer and a single, driving in three runs, and Rick Wise, Joe Hoerner and Dick Selma combined to pitch the Phillies to a 4-0 victory over the Astros. Hoerner replaced Wise with the bases loaded and two out in the seventh inning and retired pinch-hitter Larry Howard on a pop fly. Selma set down the side in the ninth after the Astros put two men on base against Hoerner. [The Sporting News]
