Three innings of perfect relief work by Ron Reed, who struck out five batters, enabled the Phillies to defeat the Cubs, 2-1. The Phillies scored an unearned run off Dennis Lamp in the second and got their deciding tally when Bob Boone homered in the fifth. The Cubs' run off Randy Lerch counted on singles by Bobby Murcer, Manny Trillo and Mike Vail in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
