Keith Moreland drove in five runs with a single and homer and Mike Schmidt belted his 300th career homer to lead the Phillies to an 8-4 victory over the Mets. Moreland singled in two runs in the first inning and drilled a three-run round-tripper in the fifth following one-out walks to Schmidt and Gary Matthews. Schmidt's shot came in the third after Pete Rose led off the frame with a single. [The Sporting News]
