An error by Ron Cey opened the door to a five-run third inning that sent the Phillies on the way to a 10-6 triumph over the Dodgers. The Phillies, headed for their fifth straight victory, scored what proved to be the winning run in the fourth when Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski singled and Schmidt tallied as Davey Johnson grounded out.
