Billy Williams' eighth career grand slam homer highlighted a five-run sixth inning and led the Cubs to a 10-7 win over the Phillies. Williams' blow, his 13th of the campaign, came off reliever Jesus Hernaiz and followed successive singles by Don Kessinger, Rick Monday and Jose Cardenal. Seven pitchers for both teams paraded to the mound and 25 hits rattled around the premises.

Cub starter Rick Reuschel was the winner despite being kayoed in the seventh after giving up successive singles to Dave Cash, Larry Bowa and Mike Schmidt to open the frame. Ken Frailing relieved and then he himself required assistance from Oscar Zamora in the ninth inning before the home team could close out the game. [The Sporting News]
