Four hits by Bake McBride, including a solo homer, paced the Phillies to a 9-3 pasting of the Dodgers. A sacrifice fly by Richie Hebner gave the Phillies a run in the third inning and a two-base error by Dodger first baseman Steve Garvey opened the gates for a pair of tallies in the fifth frame. McBride homered in the sixth.

Greg Luzinski drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the eighth and the Phillies added three more in the ninth, one scoring on a single by McBride and two on a double by Mike Schmidt. [The Sporting News]
