A three-run homer by Greg Luzinski triggered the Phillies to a 6-1 triumph over the Pirates. The big left fielder, mired in a 4-for-41 slump that had seen his average dip to .241, drove the ball into the left field bullpen in the first inning after Bake McBride was hit by a pitch and Mike Schmidt singled. RBI singles by Richie Hebner and Garry Maddox produced two more tallies in the third frame and the Phils added another in the fifth on an error by Phil Garner. [The Sporting News]
