Completing the three-game series sweep, the Phillies downed the Expos, 6-4, scoring five times in the fifth inning. The big frame began when Garry Maddox reached first on an error by Expos' third baseman Larry Parrish. After Maddox was forced by Mike Anderson, Larry Bowa singled.

Nino Espinosa then struck out, but Pete Rose walked to load the bases. A single by Manny Trillo plated Anderson and Bowa. A double by Mike Schmidt scored Rose and sent Expos' starter Bill Lee to the showers. Reliever Stan Bahnsen walked Greg Luzinski and Bob Boone then stroked a single, scoring Trillo and Schmidt.
