Lonnie Smith, extending his hitting streak to 17 games, banged out three hits and scored three runs to spark the Phillies to a 12-4 rout of the Mets. Seven Mets pitchers gave up 12 hits, six walks and hit three batters. Larry Christenson, the third Philadelphia pitcher, relieved in the sixth and raised his record to 4-6 with four shutout frames.
