After striking out three times in four hitless trips, Greg Luzinski came through with a run-scoring double in the 10th inning to bring the Phillies a 3-2 victory over the Cardinals. Mike Schmidt batted in the Phils' first two runs with a pair of singles.

Keith Hernandez hit a homer for the Cards to tie the score in the sixth. Larry Bowa, who singled in the 10th, scored on Luzinski's double. Pete Vuckovich, pitching in relief, lost for the second time to the Phillies in 24 hours. [The Sporting News]
