Playing before 63,346, the largest regular-season crowd in Philadelphia history, the Phillies won the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 4-3, in 12 innings and then lost the second game to the Pirates, 3-2. In the opener, Phil Garner homered for the Pirates in the second inning. Pete Rose drove in a run for the Phillies in the sixth with a triple for his 1,000th career RBI and scored on a single by Del Unser to give the Phils a 3-1 lead, but Dave Parker hit a two-run homer in the eighth to tie the score. Bake McBride opened the Phils' 12th with a single and was forced by Bob Boone. After a second out, Greg Luzinski walked and Bud Harrelson won the game with a single.

In the nightcap, the Pirates scored all their runs in the fourth inning on a single by Garner, pass to Parker, triple by Bill Robinson and double by Bill Madlock. [The Sporting News]
