In a swap of one-sided games, the Phillies won the opener of a twi-night doubleheader, 11-5, and the Pirates took the nightcap, 11-4. The Phillies smashed four homers -- two by Bill Robinson and one each by Mike Schmidt and Willie Montanez -- in the lidlifter. Robinson started the slugging with a solo swat in the second inning. Schmidt connected with two aboard in the fourth. Robinson's second homer in the sixth and the drive by Montanez in the seventh each came with a man on base. Richie Zisk homered for the Pirates.

In the nightcap, the Pirates piled up 18 hits, including round-trippers by Dave Parker and Richie Hebner. Rennie Stennett batted in three runs with a pair of singles. [The Sporting News]
