Pinch-hitter Terry Crowley doubled in the eighth inning and scored Darrel Chaney, who had singled, to bring the Reds a 4-3 victory over the Phillies. A streak of wildness by Steve Carlton, who walked three batters in the third inning, set up the Reds' first run on an infield out by Dave Concepcion. Bob Boone tied the score with a homer in the Phillies' half, but the Reds took advantage of an error by Bill Robinson to go ahead again with two runs in the seventh.

Don Gullett singled and scored when Robinson let a single by Pete Rose get past him for a two-base error. Tony Perez followed with a sacrifice fly to drive in Rose. The Phillies pulled even in their half when Greg Luzinski, starting in the outfield for the first time since damaging his knee on June 5, singled with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
