Led by Dick Allen, who drove in four runs, the Dodgers defeated the Phillies, 9-5. Allen had a perfect night at bat with a homer, two singles and two walks. Chris Short, who started for the Phillies, gave up singles by Maury Wills and Manny Mota in the third inning before leaving the mound because of a pulled leg muscle. Barry Lersch, who relieved, served up Allen's homer for the Dodgers' first three runs.

Bill Russell drove in two with a bases-loaded single in the fifth and the Dodgers added their winning margin in the eighth. Wes Parker batted in a pair with a double and scored himself on a single by Allen. Steve Garvey, running for Allen, counted on a double by Jim Lefebvre. [The Sporting News]
