Ron Reed, making his first start of the season after 14 relief appearances, pitched the Phillies to a 6-1 victory over the Cubs in a game stopped by rain with one out in the home half of the sixth inning. The Cubs counted in the first on a single by Jose Cardenal and double by Larry Biittner, but Reed drove in two runs himself with a single and a safe squeeze bunt and Greg Luzinski homered with a man on base.
