Homers by Bill Robinson, Del Unser and Denny Doyle accounted for all of the Phillies' runs in a 5-3 victory over the Astros. Robinson hit a solo swat in the first inning. Unser delivered three runs, hitting his homer after Willie Montanez singled and Greg Luzinski was hit by a pitch in the third. Doyle supplied the Phils' last run in the seventh. Tommy Helms homered with a man on base for the Astros in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
