Although yielding only three hits in six innings on the mound, Steve Carlton was the loser when the Astros defeated the Phillies, 5-3. Control trouble affected Carlton in the fifth inning when the Astros scored twice. Doug Rader walked and crossed the plate on a single by Tommy Helms and double by Larr yHoward. Carlton then passed Jerry Reuss and a second run scored on an infield out by Roger Metzger. A walk to Jim Wynn led to another run on a single by Bob Watson in the sixth.
