Two homers by Jay Johnstone, who also set up another run with a single, paced the Phillies to a 4-2 victory that trimmed the Cubs' lead in the Eastern Division race to just two games at the All-Star break. Johnstone homered for the Phils' initial run in the first inning. Singles by Larry Bowa, Johnstone and Greg Luzinski added a tally in the third before Johnstone hit for the circuit again in the sixth.
