Calling upon a pair of 21-year-old pitchers, Larry Christenson and Tom Underwood, the Phillies defeated the Pirates in both ends of a twi-night doubleheader, 6-3 and 8-1. The Pirates, who had a homer by Dave Parker, held a 2-1 lead against Christenson in the opener before the Phillies rallied for three runs off Jerry Reuss in the sixth. Mike Schmidt doubled and when Rennie Stennett made a late throw to third on a grounder by Greg Luzinski, both runners were safe. Ollie Brown doubled, driving in Schmidt. Taking third on the throw home, Brown scored on a squeeze bunt by Bob Boone. Rain caused a 59-minute delay after the seventh inning and Tug McGraw came in to finish the game for Christenson. The Phils iced their victory with two runs in the eighth on a single by Dick Allen, a sacrifice and singles by Jerry Martin and Mike Anderson.
