Greg Luzinski homered with a man on base in the first inning and Dick Allen came through later with two circuit clouts, accounting for four runs, as the Phillies trounced the Cardinals, 12-4. After Luzinski's initial blast, Allen homered in the fourth. The Phillies then loaded the bases and scored four more runs on singles by Dave Cash and Mike Schmidt. Allen hit his second homer of the game with two men on base in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
