A three-run homer by Greg Luzinski in the eighth inning of the first game and two-run single by Del Unser in the eighth inning of the second game gave the Phillies 4-3 and 4-2 victories in a sweep of a twi-night doubleheader with the Expos. Dick Ruthven, who started the opener for the Phillies, did not yield a hit over the first five innings before a tightened arm forced him to leave the mound. Mac Scarce took over in the sixth and gave up a walk to Ron Woods, who stole two bases before scoring on a single by Ken Singleton. After Ron Fairly also singled, Eddie Watt took over and yielded a single by Bob Bailey, scoring Singleton. Luzinski batted in a run with a double in the Phillies' half and then provided the winning blow in ethe ighth, hitting his homer after Dave Cash and Larry Bowa had reached base with singles.

Luzinski hit another homer in the nightcap, this time with one man on base in the fourth inning to tie the score at 2-2. Bill Robinson opened the Phillies' eighth with a single and was forced by Jim Essian. Steve Carlton helped himself to victory with a single and Cash walked to load the bases. Bowa lined out, but Unser then came through with his single, driving in two runs. [The Sporting News]
