Unleashing an 11-hit bombardment, the Phillies blasted the Cubs, 13-0, behind the three-hit hurling of Steve Carlton. The southpaw retired the first 18 batten he faced before yielding a leadoff single to Ivan DeJesus in the seventh inning.

Rudy Meoli paced the Phils' attack with four RBIs, slashing a two-run double in the second inning and two-run single in the third. Garry Maddox blasted a three-run homer in the seventh and Mike Schmidt hit a two-run round-tripper in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
