After Randy Jones posted his 17th victory, winning the first game of a doubleheader, 7-2, the Padres also defeated the Phillies in the second game, 7-6, in 12 innings. The defeats dropped the Phillies three games behind the Pirates in the East Division race and into a tie with the Cardinals for second place. In the opener, the Padres picked up two unearned runs in the first inning and then clinched the outcome in the third when Bobby Tolan singled and Dave Winfield homered.

In the nightcap, the Phillies forced the game into overtime with two runs in the ninth on singles by Dave Cash, Larry Bowa and Greg Luzinski and a double by Ollie Brown. However in the 12th, Bob Davis walked, took second on a balk by Ron Schueler and scored the Padres' winning run when Tolan singled. [The Sporting News]
