Mike Schmidt smacked his 28th and 29th homers of the season, connecting for the second time with a man on base in the seventh inning to break a 5-5 tie and give the Phillies a 7-5 victory over the Cubs. The Cubs took a 4-0 lead before Schmidt sparked the score-tying rally by the Phils with his first homer of the game in the fourth.
