Making his 60th relief appearance of the season, Dick Selma choked off a threat in the eighth inning and saved the Phillies' 4-2 victory over the Braves. Barry Lersch was lifted with two out after Orlando Cepeda doubled and Rico Carty walked. Selma passed Bob Aspromonte to load the bases, but retired Hal King and then set down the Braves in the ninth.

The Phillies counted twice in the first inning on singles by Larry Bowa and Tony Taylor, an error by Mike Lum on Taylor's hit and a single by Johnny Briggs. Taylor tripled in the third and crossed the plate on an infield out by Ron Stone. Mike Compton drove in a run with a single in the sixth. Bob Tillman and Lum homered for the Braves' tallies.
