Greg Luzinski, who hit two homers in one game for the third time this season and 10th time in his career, provided the Phillies' winning blow in a 5-4 victory over the Giants. Luzinski started the Phillies' scoring with a circuit clout in the second inning and Richie Hebner followed with another round-tripper.

Mike Schmidt joined in the slugging with a swat in the fourth. Terry Whitfield homered for the Giants, who tied the score at 4-4 in the eighth on a pass to Vic Harris, sacrifice by Tim Foli and single by Randy Elliott before Luzinski smashed his second homer of the game in the Phillies' half for the winning run.
