The Phillies rallied for five runs in the eighth inning, climaxing their comeback with a three-run homer by Mike Schmidt, to defeat the Padres, 8-5. The Phillies took an early 3-0 lead before Willie McCovey and Dave Winfield hit back-to-back homers for the Padres in the sixth. The Padres then knocked out Steve Carlton in the seventh, scoring three runs, two of them unearned on an error by Jay Johnstone, who dropped a fly ball with two out.

Johnstone made amends with a single in the eighth and took third on a one-out single by Tommy Hutton. After Ollie Brown fouled out, Dave Cash drove in Johnstone with a single. Larry Bowa also singled, batting in Terry Harmon, who ran for Hutton, to tie the score. Schmidt then followed with his homer for the Phillies' decisive blow. [The Sporting News]
