Larry Christenson made his first start since May 21, and he made the most of it, pitching six shutout innings before giving way to Tug McGraw, picking up his fourth win of the season 8-0 over Mark Bomback and the Mets. Manny Trillo was the hitting star of the day, hitting a home run and a sacrifice fly. Pete Rose went 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI, Larry Bowa went 3-for-5 with a run scored, and Garry Maddox went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. McGraw pitched three shutout innings to earn his 12th save of the season. The Phils remained 4½ games behind the Pirates, who re-claimed sole possession of first with their win over the Expos.
