Completing the three-game series sweep, the Phillies battered three pitchers for 11 hits en route to a 9-4 thumping of the Dodgers. A five-run second inning sent Dodger ace Tommy John to the showers.

A double by Jose Cardenal began the rally and after a walk to Richie Hebner, Bob Boone singled in one run. A single by Jim Morrison drove in another and after a walk to Jerry Martin, Garry Maddox stroked an RBI single. A single by Greg Luzinski plated two more tallies to put the Phillies ahead, 5-2, and brought in reliever Charlie Hough. [The Sporting News]
