Although held to only four hits by J.R. Richard, the Phillies were able to beat the Astros, 1-0, when pinch-hitter Del Unser walked in the eighth inning and Greg Gross tripled. The Phillies used three pitchers, Larry Christenson, Tug McGraw and Ron Reed, who gave up 10 hits among them but managed to combine on a shutout.
