The Phillies, who took advantage of Clay Kirby's wildness to score four runs in the first inning, erupted for four more in the third and defeated the Reds, 11-4, for their fourth straight victory. Three walks, an error by Tony Perez that allowed two runs to score, a single by Mike Schmidt and two more passes produced the Phillies' counters in the first. Schmidt homered with two men on base for the big blow in the third. [The Sporting News]
