Sending 16 men to bat, the Phillies exploded for 10 runs in the first inning and crushed the Cubs, 13-5. The first eight Phils hit safely before Dick Ruthven sacrificed for the first out. Dave Cash walked and Larry Bowa popped up, but two more hits and two walks followed to prolong the inning until Mike Schmidt struck out.

Garry Maddox drove in four runs during the outburst with a homer and single. Schmidt hit for the circuit with a man on base and then homered again for two more runs in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
