The Phillies collected 17 hits, their highest total of the season, and defeated the Mets, 9-4, behind the pitching of Steve Carlton, who struck out 13 to increase his league-leading total to 159. The Phils' attack included homers by Bill Robinson and Don Money. Robinson's blow was his first in the N. L. since being called up from Eugene (Pacific Coast). [The Sporting News]
