The Phillies fell on Bob Gibson for five runs in the sixth inning to enable Steve Carlton to defeat the Cardinals, 10-3. Del Unser, who reached base five straight times on two hits and three walks, opened the sixth with a safe bunt. Tommy Hutton singled and then Mike Anderson doubled, driving in both baserunners to put the Phillies ahead, 4-3. After an intentional pass to Bob Boone, a single by Mike Schmidt, sacrifice fly by Carlton and triple by Dave Cash added three runs to seal Gibson's defeat. [The Sporting News]
