Tim McCarver's three-run double in the first powered the Phils to a 6-4 victory over the Pirates, Steve Carlton's seventh win of the season. The Pirates held a 4-3 lead after Bill Robinson homered and Dave Parker hit a key double in a two-run fifth.

Ted Sizemore's homer, Jay Johnstone's double and Bob Boone's sacrifice fly gave the Phils two more runs in the last of the fifth. They tallied an insurance run on Carlton's sacrifice fly in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
