While Steve Carlton pitched a four-hitter, the Phillies went on a batting rampage with 18 hits, including Greg Luzinski's 25th homer of the season, to trample the Astros, 14-2. Bob Watson homered in the first inning to produce the Astros' pair, but that lead quickly vanished in the second when the Phillies exploded for seven runs on seven hits and three walks. In addition to his homer, Luzinski had a single and double, giving him seven consecutive hits, plus two walks, in two games with the Astros before the slugger struck out with the bases loaded in the seventh.
