The Phillies exploded for five runs in the third inning, with a homer by Del Unser as the big blow, to defeat the Expos, 6-4. The Expos scored two of their runs in the first on a single by Tim Foli, throwing error by Wayne Twitchell, sacrifice fly by Willie Davis, double by Ken Singleton and single by Mike Jorgensen. The Phils picked up a run in the second on a walk to Unser and singles by Bob Boone and Tommy Hutton before their outburst in the third.

Larry Bowa led off the stanza with a single and, after a forceout by Mike Schmidt, Willie Montanez singled and Unser hit his homer. The Phils then went on to add two more runs for their winning margin when Jay Johnstone walked, Boone tripled and Hutton hit a sacrifice fly. Ron Fairly homered for the Expos in the fifth.
