The Phillies hit three consecutive homers for the first time in the club's long history and beat the Expos, 9-4, for their 100th victory of the season. Greg Luzinski, Richie Hebner and Garry Maddox put on the Phillies' power show in the second inning at the expense of Stan Bahnsen.

After two out, the Phillies went on to add three more runs on infield hits by Jim Lonborg and Bake McBride, walks to Larry Bowa and Mike Schmidt and an error by Stan Papi on a grounder by Luzinski. A single by Schmidt accounted for two runs in the fourth and boosted his season's RBI total to 101. [The Sporting News]
