A double by Bob Boone in the sixth inning, driving in two runs, sent the Phillies on their way to a 7-4 victory over the Astros. Cliff Johnson and Art Howe homered for the Astros, while Greg Luzinski hit one for the Phillies. In the sixth, Richie Hebner and Davey Johnson singled and both scored on Boone's double to put the Phillies ahead, 5-4. Boone subsequently scored on a wild throw by Howe.
