Taking over the league lead in batting with an average of .344, Jay Johnstone smashed four hits, including a two-run homer, as the Phillies defeated the Astros, 7-1. Mike Schmidt hit his 32nd homer of the season, tying injured Dave Kingman of the Mets for the league lead. Schmidt whacked his drive in the first inning and Johnstone followed with his circuit clout after a single by Greg Luzinski. Steve Carlton held the Astros to five hits and racked up his fifth victory in succession.
