Mike Schmidt rapped four hits, including his 31st homer, and drove in four runs to pace the Phillies to an 8-1 thumping of the Mets. Schmidt singled home two runs in the third inning, doubled home another tally in the seventh and connected for the circuit in the ninth. Nino Espinosa hurled a five-hitter in going the route.
