A two-run pinch-double by Dick Davis climaxed a three-run rally in the seventh inning that enabled the Phillies to edge the Reds, 7-6. The Phillies were behind, 5-4, in the seventh when Mike Schmidt, Keith Moreland and George Vukovich stroked successive one-out singles to tie the game. After Larry Bowa walked and Luis Aguayo hit into a forceout at the plate, Davis delivered his two-bagger. [The Sporting News]
