Harry Parker ended a personal string of seven straight losses and gained his first victory since April 28 when the Mets defeated the Phillies, 6-2. The setback was the seventh in succession for the Phillies, who were shut out until the ninth inning. Rusty Staub and Cleon Jones homered for the Mets. In the Phillies' ninth, Dave Cash tripled with one out and scored on a grounder by Larry Bowa. Del Unser followed with a double and Mike Schmidt walked. After Willie Montanez singled to drive in Unser, Bob Miller replaced Parker and retired Mike Anderson on a fly ball to end the game. [The Sporting News]
