Reliever Tom Hilgendorf, getting his first hit since 1972, drove in the tie-breaking tally in the seventh inning when the Phillies scored three times to defeat the Astros, 7-4. The Phillies had an earlier three-run inning in the second, scoring on walks to Dick Allen and Mike Schmidt, a triple by Garry Maddox and double by Dave Cash, but Bob Watson drove in three runs with a homer and single to help the Astros take a 4-3 lead.
