Philadelphia 17, Chicago 2: The wind was blowing out at Wrigley, but only the Phillies seemed to notice.

Robinson drove in four runs, and Larry Bowa went 4-for-5 with two doubles and three runs. Del Unser also scored three times.

Houston 7, Montreal 3: Jim Wynn hit a three-run homer and Jim York threw 3.2 scoreless innings of relief for Houston. Wynn went 3-for-5 with two runs, four RBIs and a steal. Tom Griffin held the Expos scoreless for five innings but was knocked out in the sixth; York relieved and finished the game for the save. Ernie McAnally gave up five runs, four earned, in five innings for the loss as the Expos moved into the cellar..

St. Louis 6, Atlanta 3: Alan Foster allowed one run in seven innings, scattering six hits and striking out five. Ken Reitz hit a three-run homer and drove in a fourth run with a single, and Lou Brock had a two-run single in the third that put the Cardinals ahead to stay. Rick Folkers got the last out with two on for the save. Carl Morton (three runs in seven innings) was saddled with the loss.
