Mike Schmidt hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career to power the Phillies to a 6-1 victory over the Mets. Jim Lonborg, making his first start since May 19, was the winner with relief assistance from Mac Scarce.

Willie Montanez walked in the fourth inning and took third on a single by Greg Luzinski. After Luzinski stole second, Tommy Hutton was passed intentionally to load the bases and set the stage for Schmidt's slam off Harry Parker, who was tagged with his first defeat of the year after five victories for the Mets.
