Dick Ruthven, 12-4 since being obtained from Atlanta on June 15, pitched the Phillies to a 6-2 victory over the Cubs. The Phillies scored three runs in the fourth inning. Singles by Larry Bowa and Garry Maddox and an error by third baseman Rodney Scott on a grounder by Greg Luzinski loaded the sacks with none out.
