. . . where the 1970s live forever!

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]
