Greg Luzinski collected his 100th RBI of season with a double which capped a three-run seventh inning, giving the Phillies a 4-1 triumph over the Braves. The Phillies nursed a 1-0 lead into the seventh when Garry Maddox singled, was sacrificed to second, took third on an infield out and came home on a single by Dave Cash.

Larry Bowa followed with a single and pinch-hitter Ollie Brown greeted reliever Ray Sadecki with a run-scoring base hit. Luzinski then drove home Bowa. Cash drove home Johnny Oates, who had doubled, with a fifth-inning single for the game's first run. The Braves tallied in the eighth on a single by Rob Belloir, a walk and single by Darrell Evans.
