Pushing across a run in the 10th inning, the Phillies edged the Mets, 1-0, behind the pitching of Larry Christenson and Tug McGraw. Del Unser began the 10th with a pinch-single and was sacrificed to second by pinch-hitter Tim McCarver. Pete Rose then bounced a single up the middle to plate pinch-runner Jay Loviglio with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
