Yielding just four hits, Dick Ruthven hurled the Phillies to a 3-1 triumph over the Expos, halting Montreal's winning streak at six games. The Phillies scored two runs in the first inning on a walk to Lonnie Smith, run-scoring triple by Pete Rose and RBI groundout by Gary Matthews. They added a run in the fourth when Mike Schmidt walked, went to second when Manny Trillo was hit by a pitch and came home on a two-out single by Larry Bowa. [The Sporting News]
