Steve Carlton gained his 16th victory of the season and 11th in succession when the Phillies won the nightcap of a twi-night doubleheader, 4-1, after the Mets had captured a opener, 3-2, in 18 innings. Cleon Jones of the Mets and Bill Robinson of the Phillies were the batting heroes. In the first game, Jones batted in all three of the Mets' runs with a sacrifice fly in the sixth, homer in the eighth and single with the bases loaded in the 18th. Tommie Agee opened the final frame with a double, Ray Sadecki beat out a bunt and, after Dave Schneck grounded out, Agee holding third, an intentional pass to Ed Kranepool loaded the bases and set the stage for Jones' winning hit. Robinson and Don Money homered for the Phillies' runs.

In the second game, Carlton and Jerry Koosman were locked in a 1-1 duel going into the ninth when Money and Greg Luzinski singled with two out, Deron Johnson walked and Robinson cleared the sacks with a double. [The Sporting News]
