Garry Maddox had three RBI on the night.
Garry Maddox had three RBI on the night.

Dick Ruthven took the hill for the Phillies in search of his 10th victory to join Steve Carlton as the two Phils starters at that level. While he didn't have his best stuff, he fought through seven innings of eight-hit, four-run (three earned) innings to give the Phils a chance. And the offense responded against future Hall-of-Famer Nolan Ryan, exploding for six runs (four earned) and eight hits over Ryan's 4-2/3 innings. Bake McBride, Keith Moreland, Garry Maddox and Manny Trillo each had two hits, and Maddox knocked in three runs, with Moreland bashing in two and Trillo collecting one RBI. McGraw pitched two scorless innings to notch his second consecutive save, his ninth of the season.
