Dick Ruthven ended his personal six-game losing streak by pitching six innings and receiving credit for the Phillies' 6-2 victory over the Padres. Ruthven was losing, 2-1, before the Phillies came to his aid with three runs in the sixth. Del Unser walked, Tommy Hutton singled and Bob Boone sacrificed. After a pass to Mike Anderson loaded the bases, Jay Johnstone batted for Ruthven and drew a pass to force in the tying run. Dave Cash then singled to drive in the go-ahead pair. Mac Scarce took the mound after Ruthven's departure and allowed only one hit in the last three innings. [The Sporting News]
