Greg Luzinski and Tommy Hutton batted in two runs apiece in the first game and Ollie Brown and Garry Maddox had four hits each in the second game as the Phillies defeated the Mets in a twi-night doubleheader, 8-2 and 10-7. Ron Schueler pitched the opener for the Phillies and allowed only four hits in his first route-going performance of the season. Luzinski accounted for his RBIs with a double and homer, while Hutton plated a pair with a double. John Stearns homered for the Mets.

In the nightcap, the Phillies broke a 4-4 tie with a six-run outburst in the fifth. Maddox led off with a triple and later drove in a run with a single on his second appearance at the plate during the inning. Dick Allen, Dave Cash, Luzinski, Mike Schmidt and Bob Boone singled home the other runs. John Milner rapped a three-run homer for the Mets in the third and Dave Kingman hit a solo swat in the ninth.
