. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Willie Montanez smashed the first grand slam of his major league career and Jay Johnstone hit two homers, driving in three runs, to power the Phillies to an 8-3 victory over the Cubs. Steve Carlton gained his 14th victory but left the mound with a pulled hamstring muscle after seven innings. Jesus Hernaiz finished.

Montanez hit his grand slam off Jim Todd in the third. After Del Unser doubled, Steve Stone took over and yielded a two-run homer by Johnstone. The Phillies' last run came on Johnstone's second homer of the game in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
