The Phillies moved 1½ games ahead of the Cardinals in the East Division race by sweeping a doubleheader with the Giants, 5-2 and 7-4. In the opener, the Giants took a 2-0 lead against Steve Carlton before the Phillies picked up a run in the seventh and pulled ahead with three in the eighth. Dave Cash opened the rally with a single, moved to second on a balk and counted the tying run on a single by Larry Bowa. That finished Ed Halicki. Randy Moffitt relieved and walked Mike Schmidt to load the bases. The Giants then called on Ron Bryant and Willie Montanez greeted the change with a single, driving in two runs. Del Unser followed with a squeeze bunt for another tally. The Phillies added an insurance marker in the ninth on a triple by Bob Boone and bunt single by Tommy Hutton.
