Making their last appearance in historic Connie Mack Stadium, the Phillies defeated the Expos, 2-1, in 10 innings, before their largest crowd of the season, 31,822 fans, who tore up the park after the game in a wild scramble for souvenirs.

The victory put the Phillies in fifth place ahead of the Expos in the East division. A single by Barry Lersch and triple by Tim McCarver produced a run for the Phillies in the third inning. The Expos tied the score in the ninth when John Bateman singled and gave way on the paths to Adolfo Phillips, who crossed the plate on a double by Bobby Wine. In the 10th McCarver singled with two out, stole second and scored the winning run on a single by Oscar Gamble. [The Sporting News]
