Mike Schmidt hit his 44th homer of the season.
Mike Schmidt hit his 44th homer of the season.

If the Phils thought they had the Expos on the ropes following the September 26th squeaker win, they thought incorrectly. The Expos roared back in this game, taking it 4-3 over the Phillies and ace Steve Carlton. Carlton pitched decently (4 runs in 8 innings), but may have been well-suited for an earlier exit. He actually help a 2-1 lead early and it was 2-2 going into the seventh inning, but Carlton just ran out of gas and gave up a pair in the 7th and 8th innings. Warren Brusstar and Sparky Lyle pitched an inning each in the loss. Mike Schmidt (44) and Manny Trillo (7) both homered in a losing cause for the Phillies. The loss brough Montreal back to within a half-game of the Phils.
