Erupting for three runs in the eighth inning, the Reds went on to a 6-3 victory over the Phillies. The score was 3-3 when Dave Concepcion opened the eighth with a single and scored on a double by Goerge Foster. Dan Driessen then walked and, after Foster was forced at third on an attempted sacrifice by Ray Knight, Joe Nolan followed with a double to score two more runs. [The Sporting News]
