Carlton’s 20th Victory Sparks Phillies Comeback
Steve Carlton pitched a 9-4 win over the Reds to break 20 victories, delivering a birthday present for his wife Beverly as Philadelphia snapped a three-game slide. The Phillies bats chased three Cincinnati hurlers for 16 hits while Mets and Astros won elsewhere in the league. Carlton’s feat marked him as the first NL pitcher on a last-place club to reach 20 wins, with questions about 25 or 30 wins ahead and a 19-game streak in reach.
