With relief help from Rawly Eastwick, who pitched the last two innings, Gary Nolan gained his fourth straight victory when the Reds defeated the Phillies, 4-3. Mike Schmidt hit his 19th homer for the Phillies to tie the score at 3-3 in the sixth inning, but the Reds put over the deciding run in the next stanza when George Foster tripled and Tony Perez hit a sacrifice fly.
