Bidding for his third straight homer title, Mike Schmidt smashed his 38th of the season, one more than Dave Kingman of the Mets, to help the Phillies edge the Cardinals, 6-5. Schmidt's blow came with a man on base in the fifth inning when the Phillies counted three times to take a 5-1 lead. The Cardinals rallied to tie the score, but the Phillies came back with the deciding run in the eighth on a walk to Bob Boone and double by Jerry Martin, driving in pinch-runner Rick Bosetti.
