Reducing their magic number to three for clinching a third straight East division title, the Phillies split a twin bill with the Expos, winning the first game, 5-3, and losing the second game, 3-0. In the opener, consecutive singles by Larry Bowa, Garry Maddox and Greg Luzinski produced a first-inning run and the Phils added a pair in the third on an infield hit by Bowa and a homer by Luzinski. Tim McCarver drove in a run with a single in the sixth and a sacrifice fly by Bob Boone accounted for the final tally in the eighth.
