Led by the batting of Mike Schmidt and Jerry Martin, the Phillies defeated the Expos, 6-5, and were assured of at least a tie for the East Division title when the Pirates were beaten by the Cardinals. Schmidt cracked a homer with Dave Cash on base in the first inning. After the Expos pushed three runs across the plate in the second, Schmidt tied the score with a double in the third, driving in Cash. Martin, who was also on base, stopped at third and scored on a sacrifice fly by Greg Luzinski.
