A four-run outburst in the seventh inning broke a 3-3 tie and gave the Phillies a 7-3 victory over the Pirates. Pinch-hitter Bake McBride led off the seventh by drawing a walk from losing reliever Enrique Romo and was forced at second by Larry Bowa. A double by Pete Rose placed runners at second and third and sent Romo to the showers in favor of Kent Tekulve.

An intentional pass to Greg Luzinski loaded the sacks and a single by Mike Schmidt plated two tallies. Garry Maddox forced Schmidt, stole second and scored along with pinch-runner Greg Gross on a single by Manny Trillo. [The Sporting News]
