Steve Carlton struck out 13, bringing his career total over the thousand mark to 1,007, while pitching the Phillies to an 8-3 victory over the Giants. The Phillies loaded the bases in the third inning and scored four runs on a sacrifice fly by Larry Bowa, a single by Terry Harmon and an error on the hit by Garry Maddox, who let the ball get past him in left field.

Willie Montanez batted in two runs with a double in the fifth and Greg Luzinski homered with a man on base in the eighth. Bobby Bonds had a homer for the Giants. [The Sporting News]
