Tommy John's streak of five straight victories this year and 10 in a row over two seasons was stopped, but reliever Mike Marshall was responsible when the Dodgers lost to the Phillies, 3-2. Bill Russell batted in the first run and scored the second for the Dodgers before the Phillies got on the board with a marker in the sixth on a double by Larry Bowa, a passed ball and sacrifice fly by Mike Schmidt.

In the ninth, Schmidt singled and when John threw wildly to second on a bunt by Greg Luzinski, both runners were safe. Marshall relieved and, after a sacrifice by Bill Robinson, Del Unser was handed an intentional pass. Marshall then walked Tommy Hutton to force in the tying run. Bob Boone was retired, but another pass to Mike Rogodzinski on four pitches gave the Phillies their winning run. [The Sporting News]
