Mike Schmidt walloped a two-run homer in the ninth to give the Phils a 6-5 win over the Padres. The Phils wiped out a 5-1 deficit with five runs in the last three innings to remain 1½ games behind the first-place Pirates. Dick Sharon boosted the Padre lead to 5-1 with a three-run homer in the fifth, but Dick Allen hit a 400-foot homer for the Phils in the seventh and the Phils got two more in the eighth on Tommy Hutton's pinch double.

Allen cracked three hits, including a ninth-inning double ahead of Schmidt's 29th homer. Reliever Bill Greif gave up both Phil blows in the ninth. Tom Hilgendorf, the third Phil hurler, picked up the win. [The Sporting News]
