In addition to pitching his third straight complete-game victory, Steve Carlton contributed three hits to the Phillies' attack while beating the Cubs, 6-4. Pete Rose also rapped three hits. The Phils took advantage of an error by Dave Kingman to score three unearned runs in the first inning.

After Kingman dropped a fly by Mike Schmidt as one run scored, Tim McCarver walked to load the bases and Ramon Aviles hit a two-run single. Greg Luzinski batted in a run with a single in the second and added another with a homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
