A single by Larry Cox, who drove in the first run of his major league career, enabled the rookie catcher to share honors with Mike Schmidt as the Phillies defeated the Giants, 6-5. Schmidt batted in three runs with two homers. The Phillies scored three times in the first inning on a single by Dave Cash, his theft of second, single by Larry Bowa and homer by Schmidt.

After Schmidt connected for the circuit again in the third, Del Unser singled in the fourth and crossed the plate on a double by Jay Johnstone. Cox then hit his single to drive in what proved to be the Phillies' winning run. Dave Kingman tripled with the bases loaded and Chris Speier hit a homer for the Giants. [The Sporting News]
