Steve Carlton gained his 100th victory with the Phillies by pitching a six-hitter to defeat the Braves, 4-2. Steve Hargan, making his first appearance with the Braves, was the loser after giving up seven hits and the Phillies' four runs in the first 2 1/3 innings. A triple by Mike Schmidt and wild pitch by Hargan resulted in the initial tally in the first.

Richie Hebner was safe on an error and Tim McCarver and Larry Bowa beat out infield hits to load the bases in the second. Hebner scored as the Braves executed a double play on a grounder by Ted Sizemore. Carlton then helped himself with a single, driving in McCarver. Bake McBride singled, stole second and scored on a single by Greg Luzinski in the third. [The Sporting News]
