Two king-sized homers by Greg Luzinski powered the Phillies to a 5-2 victory over the Cardinals. Tom Underwood, facing his former Phillies' teammates for the first time, was the victim of both smashes. Luzinski hammered a pitch into the upper deck of Veterans Stadium with a man on base in the first inning and followed with another tremendous wallop with two aboard in the third. [The Sporting News]
