Mike Schmidt hit his 31st homer of the season to climax a six-run outburst in the fourth inning as the Phillies routed the Giants, 13-2. A walk to Ollie Brown and singles by Garry Maddox and Bobby Tolan produced the Phillies' first run in the fourth to tie the score at 2-2.

Tolan stole second and when the throw from catcher Mike Sadek hit the runner and bounced into left field, both Maddox and Tolan scored. Dave Cash doubled and crossed the plate on a single by Larry Bowa before Schmidt connected for his homer. The Phillies' 19-hit attack also included a three-run homer by Tim McCarver in the sixth.
