The Phillies exploded for five runs in the third inning and defeated the Mets, 7-3, to snap their eight-game losing streak. Nolan Ryan, who started for the Mets, was lifted after walking two batters and hitting another with a pitch to load the bases.

After Charlie Williams relieved, back-to-back doubles by Greg Luzinski and Don Money each drove in two runs. Money then stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly by Oscar Gamble. [The Sporting News]
