The Phillies swept a doubleheader from the Pirates, 7-4 and 6-5, to tighten their grip on first place in the N. L. East and derail, at least temporarily, the Pirates' bid to reach the top. The home team spotted the visitors a four-run lead in the opener and then roared back to take the decision. The Pirates jumped off in front with three runs in the first on singles by Willie Stargell and Ed Kirkpatrick and Manny Sanguillen's sacrifice fly, and added another in the fifth on Stargell's homer. The Phils got two back in the fifth when pinch-hitter Ollie Brown's homer followed Alan Bannister's single. They tied it in the sixth on pinch-hitter Tony Taylor's bases-loaded single. The Phillies took command in the seventh when Larry Bowa walked, Mike Schmidt singled, Willie Montanez sacrificed, Bill Robinson got an intentional walk and Mike Anderson singled home the decisive runs.
