Phillies complete a sweep

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Dick Ruthven won his fourth straight game and got Philadelphia's only extra base hit, leading the Phillies to a 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants last night. 

With the victory, the Phillies swept the three-game series and took a half-game lead over Pittsburgh in the National League East. 

Montreal lost to San Diego, 4-3, and slipped one-game behind the Phillies. 

Ruthven, 14-8, improved his lifetime record against the Giants to 12-4, going 8⅔ innings before he got help from Tug McGraw, who got his 16th save. 

Philadelphia scored the game's first three runs in the second inning off Giants starter Allen Ripley, 7-8.

Ruthven drove in one run with a double to left field. 

Manny Trillo led off the second with an infield hit and advanced to second on a ground out by Greg Gross. Larry Bowa got a bunt single down the third base line and Trillo scored when Darrell Evans threw past first for an error. 

Bowa reached second on the error, went to third when Bob Boone grounded out and scored on Ruthven's double. An infield hit by Bake McBride and a single by Mike Schmidt brought Ruthven home and Pete Rose, who had walked, was thrown out at home.

Trillo got another infield hit with one out in the sixth and later scored on a squeeze bunt by Bowa. 

The Giants got one run in the sixth on a walk to Milt May and singles by Guy Sularz and Joe Pettini. 

Rookie Chris Bourjos hit a two-run homer off Ruthven in the Giants ninth.
