After the Mets rallied for three runs in the ninth inning to win the first game of a doubleheader, 7-6, Deron Johnson smashed a grand-slam homer in the 11th inning of the nightcap to enable the Phillies to gain a 9-7 victory. The Mets took a 4-0 lead in the lidlifter on homers by Mike Jorgensen and Art Shamsky, but the Phillies exploded for six runs in the sixth inning. Tim McCarver and Willie Montanez homered on consecutive pitches by Nolan Ryan to ignite the outburst. In the ninth, Tim Foli and Dave Marshall singled for the Mets and Bud Harrelson bunted safely to load the bases. Don Hahn singled off John Vukovich's glove for one run and pinch-hitter Frank Duffy followed with a single to drive in the tying and winning tallies.

After the Mets stepped off to a 5-1 lead in the nightcap, Johnson batted in two runs with a double in the fifth and Montanez drove in a pair with a single in the sixth to tie the score. In the 11th, Terry Harmon singled, Larry Bowa doubled and Montanez was passed intentionally before Johnson came to the plate and hit his grand slam. The Mets rallied in their half, but fell short with two runs. [The Sporting News]
