For the second straight game, Ron Santo, Johnny Callison and Billy Williams hit homers as the Cubs defeated the Phillies again, 9-4. After Williams singled and Jim Hickman walked in the fourth inning, Santo and Callison homered in succession. Glenn Beckert knocked in three runs with a bases-loaded double in the seventh and Williams then capped the Cubs' attack with his round-tripper. [The Sporting News]
