Leon Durham hit his first major league grand slam in the opener to account for a 7-4 victory and the Cardinals then completed the sweep of a twi-night doubleheader by beating the Phillies in the nightcap, 5-0, with a five-run outburst in the 11th inning. Durham's homer came off Warren Brusstar in the fifth inning after Ken Oberkfell singled and Keith Hernandez and Ted Simmons walked to load the bases.

In the second game, the Cardinals broke up the scoreless duel in 11th after filling the sacks on a double by Ken Reitz, error by Mike Schmidt on a bunt by John Littlefield and a pass to Oberkfell. Tony Scott singled to drive in the first run, leaving the bases loaded. Hernandez promptly cleared the sacks with a triple and counted the final tally of the game on a single by George Hendrick.
