Although needing relief help, unbeaten rookie Marty Bystrom received credit for his fourth consecutive victory as the Phillies edged the Mets, 2-1, and took over first place in the East Division, ahead of the Expos. The Phils broke the scoreless deadlock in the fifth inning when Manny Trillo tripled and scored on a single by Garry Maddox. Maddox reached second on a single by Larry Bowa but was forced at third by Bystrom. One out later, Lonnie Smith delivered a single that scored Bowa. [The Sporting News]
