Two tape-measure homers by Greg Luzinski, who drove in three runs, helped the Phillies end their five-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Braves. Bob Boone also batted in three runs with a double and single.

Dusty Baker led the Braves to a 5-2 lead, driving in a run with a double in the first inning and three with a homer in the third. Luzinski's first homer of the game, two walks and a single by Boone cut the Phillies' deficit in the sixth. Willie Montanez then doubled in the seventh and Luzinski hit his second homer for the winning blow. [The Sporting News]
