. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The second-place Phillies pulled within five games of the pace-setting Pirates in the East Division race by defeating the Expos, 5-0, in a contest stopped by rain after 6½ innings. Larry Christenson pitched the shutout, holding the Expos to three hits.

The Phillies jumped on Steve Rogers for two runs in the first inning on singles by Dave Cash and Larry Bowa, two wild pitches and a single by Greg Luzinski. A passed ball by Jose Morales and wild pickoff throw by Rogers resulted in another run in the third. After Mike Schmidt's homer, the Phillies tacked on their final marker in the seventh on another passed ball by Morales. [The Sporting News]
