A bases-loaded triple by Steve Garvey, the Dodgers' productive pinch-hitter, produced an 8-6 victory over the Phillies. Steve Yeager of the Dodgers and Willie Montanez of the Phillies each hit a three-run homer, but the Phillies held a 6-4 lead going into the eighth inning when a single by Willie Davis and pass to Ron Cey led to the removal of Steve Carlton with one out.

Mac Scarce relieved and was greeted with a run-scoring double by Tom Paciorek. After an intentional pass to Bill Russell, Steve Yeager struck out, but Garvey then batted for Doug Rau and came through with his triple. Garvey now was batting .391 as a pinch-hitter on 9-for-23 with 10 runs batted in. [The Sporting News]
