Pete Rose drove home the winning run as the Phillies scored twice in the ninth inning to edge the Dodgers, 5-4, and complete the three-game series sweep. In the opening rally, Manny Trillo singled, advanced to second on a sacrifice, went to third on a single by pinch-hitter Greg Gross and scored on a grounder by pinch-hitter Jose Cardenal. After Larry Bowa walked, Rose singled to score Lonnie Smith, pinch-running for Gross. [The Sporting News]
