Catcher Tim McCarver provided a two-run double to enable Rick Wise to pitch the Phillies to a 3-1 victory over the Padres. Wise helped himself by hitting a single in the fifth inning. Terry Harmon walked and McCarver followed with his two-bagger.

Wise uncorked a wild pitch to allow Leron Lee to score for the Padres in the sixth, but the Phillies came back with an insurance run in their half on a walk to Roger Freed, wild pitch by Fred Norman and single by Willie Montanez. [The Sporting News]
