The combined six-hit pitching of Marty Bystrom and Ron Reed carried the Phillies to a 4-0 blanking of the Dodgers, ending rookie sensation Fernando Valenzuela's eight-game winning streak and stopping Los Angeles' winning streak at seven games. Mike Schmidt cracked a solo homer in the first inning and the Phillies scored three runs in the fourth on walks to Pete Rose and Schmidt, run-scoring singles by Keith Moreland and Gary Matthews and a sacrifice fly by Garry Maddox.
