Exploding for seven runs in the seventh inning, the Reds defeated the Phillies, 14-7. Mike Schmidt and Mike Anderson accounted for most of the Phillies' attack, each hitting a three-run homer. Terry Crowley rapped his first N. L. homer for the Reds, connecting with a man on base in the sixth.

The Reds began their outburst in the seventh with a pass to Pete Rose and homer by Johnny Bench. Tony Perez walked and scored on a double by Dan Driessen. After another pass to George Foster, Cesar Geronimo singled to drive in a run. Hal King added two more with a single. Following hits by Rose and Darrel Chaney, a throwing error admitted the seventh run of the stanza. Joe Morgan hit a two-run homer for the Reds in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
