Bill Robinson hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career and drove in another run with a sacrifice fly to account for the Phillies' scoring in a 5-3 victory over the Astros. Robinson's jackpot wallop came off Jerry Reuss in the third inning after Cesar Tovar and Billy Grabarkewitz singled and Greg Luzinski walked to load the bases.
