Steve Carlton survived trouble in the eighth inning and turned in his first complete game since June 8 as the Phillies defeated the Cubs, 7-4. The Phillies roughed up Rick Reuschel for three runs in the second on four singles and a double by Bill Robinson. Greg Luzinski homered in the third, hitting safely in his 15th straight game.

The Phillies added a tally in the fifth and capped their scoring with a two-run homer by Robinson in the sixth. In Cariton's shaky stanza, the Cubs scored three unearned runs on a single by Billy Williams, a passed ball, a wild throw by Mike Schmidt after fielding a grounder by Ron Santo, triple by Jim Hickman and single by Carmen Fanzone.
