Bob Boone's three-run homer capped a five-run first inning and sent the Phillies on their way to a 12-3 rout of the Cardinals. After the Phils loaded the sacks on a single by Larry Bowa and walks to Mike Schmidt and Richie Hebner, Garry Maddox stroked a two-run single and Boone followed with his circuit clout.

The Phils had another five-run frame in the fourth inning when Schmidt homered after a single by Randy Lerch and double by Bake McBride. Greg Luzinski then walked, stole second and scored on Hebner's double. Hebner then scored on a single by Maddox. [The Sporting News]
