Greg Luzinski drove in seven runs with a grand-slam homer and double to lead the Phillies' slugging in a 13-10 victory over the Braves. Joey McLaughlin, making his major league debut with the Braves, gave up a single by Larry Bowa and walked Richie Hebner and Mike Schmidt to load the bases in the first inning before Luzinski hit his grand slam.

Garry Maddox added a homer before the inning ended. Luzinski doubled with the bases loaded in the sixth for his other RBIs. Jeff Burroughs batted in three runs for the Braves with a homer and single. [The Sporting News]
