Sparked by Greg Luzinski, who hit a homer, the Phillies erupted the for seven runs in the eighth inning and defeated the Dodgers, 8-3. Luzinski's homer followed a single by Mike Schmidt and tied score at 3-3.

Lance Rautzhan relieved Rick Rhoden and was the victim of singles by Richie Hebner, Garry Maddox and Ted Sizemore, Hebner scoring to put the Phillies ahead. Elias Sosa took over, but the Phillies continued their attack with run-scoring singles by Tim McCarver and Jay Johnstone before Schmidt, up for a second time, capped the inning with a two-run double.
