Jim Lonborg notched his eighth victory without a loss when Philadelphia exploded for six runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Expos, 7-1. Dick Allen doubled and Bob Boone walked to start the Phils' outburst and Lonborg moved both runners along with a sacrifice bunt.

The Expos then passed Dave Cash intentionally to get at Larry Bowa. That strategy had worked in the fifth when Bowa popped up, but this time was different. The Phillies' shortstop tripled to drive in three runs. After a pass to Mike Schmidt, Greg Luzinskl singled to plate Bowa and Jay Johnstone completed the scoring with a two-run double.
