Tim McCarver smashed a grand slam, Jay Johnstone hit two homers and Mike Schmidt added one to account for all 12 RBIs as the Phillies romped over the Mets, 12-1. Steve Carlton, who allowed only one hit -- a leadoff double by Lenny Randle -- left the game after seven innings and Warren Brusstar finished.

Johnstone homered for the first time in the game after a single by Garry Maddox in the first inning. In the third, Carlton and Maddox singled and Schmidt and Johnstone followed with back-to-back blasts. McCarver hit his jackpot wallop in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News]
