The first major league pitcher to win five games this season, Tommy John pitched the Dodgers to a 1-0 victory over the Phillies. Dick Ruthven was the loser in the first inning when the Dodgers scored on a pass to Davey Lopes, single by Bill Buckner and sacrifice fly by Jim Wynn. [The Sporting News]
