Driving in three runs, two with a homer that climaxed a five-run second inning, Bake McBride led the Phillies to an 11-5 massaging of the Cubs. In the second, Richie Hebner walked, reached third on a double by Mike Schmidt and scored on a wild pitch.

A single by Bob Boone scored Schmidt. A single by Randy Lerch produced the third tally of the frame and McBride then unloaded his circuit clout. [The Sporting News]
