Larry Christenson won his 19th game and Gene Garber gained his 19th save as the Phillies ended the regular season by defeating the Expos, 5-3, for their 101st victory. The Phillies opened the scoring off Steve Rogers with two runs in the first on doubles by Larry Bowa and Davey Johnson and a wild pitch. Jay Johnstone hit a sacrifice fly in the third, Tommy Hutton doubled and scored on an error in the fourth and Johnstone homered in the fifth. Gary Carter had a round-tripper for the Expos.
