Jim Brewer, who relieved in the ninth inning with two men on base and one out, saved the game for Claude Osteen as the Dodgers defeated the Phillies, 3-1. The Dodgers scored two runs on only one hit in the third inning.

After Bobby Valentine singled, Osteen bunted for a sacrifice to Steve Carlton, who threw the ball into right field. Valentine scored and when Mike Anderson threw wildly in return, Osteen also completed his circuit of the bases. [The Sporting News]
