Exploding for nine runs in the third inning, the Phillies overwhelmed the Pirates, 15-4, as Steve Carlton coasted to his 11th victory. After Bake McBride homered in the first, the Phillies went on their scoring spree, sending 13 men to bat. Larry Bowa, who had a single and double during the outburst, drove in two runs and Garry Maddox accounted for two others. Carlton chipped in with a run-scoring single and also doubled across a pair in the sixth when the Phillies capped their scoring with a homer by Greg Luzinski. [The Sporting News]
