Bob Forsch, although touched for home runs by Mike Schmidt in the seventh and Dave Cash in the eighth, picked up his eighth victory with a late assist from reliever Al Hrabosky as the Cardinals decisioned the Phillies, 4-2. Mike Tyson doubled home St. Louis' first run in the second, and the Cardinals got the decisive runs in the fifth on Ted Sizemore's hit, a wild pitch, single by Ted Simmons, a walk and single by Ken Reitz. The Redbirds added their final tally in the eighth on a single, stolen base by McBride and Tyson's single. [The Sporting News]
