After giving up three runs in the first inning, Steve Carlton clamped down and pitched the Phillies to a 5-3 victory over the Cardinals. The Phils picked up one run in their half of the first, tied the score with a two-run homer by Greg Luzinski in the sixth and then won when an intentional pass backfired on the Cardinals in the eighth.

Larry Bowa singled with one out and stole second. After Jay Johnstone flied out, Ron Reed passed Luzinski intentionally to get at Dick Allen, who promptly tripled to drive in two runs for the Phils' winning margin. [The Sporting News]
