Steve Carlton gained his sixth straight victory and 11th of the season when the Phillies rallied for three runs in the sixth inning to defeat the Padres, 4-2, in the first game of a twi-night doubleheader. However, the Padres won the second game, 6-1, behind the pitching of Clay Kirby. Carlton fell behind in the lidlifter, 2-0, before the Phillies forged ahead with their three runs in the sixth on a combination of two walks and three hits. Greg Luzinski batted in one run with a single and John Bateman plated a pair with another single. Luzinski iced the game with a homer in the eighth.

Fred Kendall, catching Kirby in the nightcap, provided the principal support for the Padres' pitcher by smashing two homers. [The Sporting News]
