Mike Schmidt became the first slugger in major league history to hit four consecutive homers for the second time in his career, but the Phillies lost to the Giants, 8-6. Schmidt, who homered in his last at-bat in the previous night's game, followed with successive clouts in the second, third and sixth innings. The Phillies' third baseman had previously hit four homers in a row against the Cubs April 17, 1976.
