A three-run homer by Manny Trillo triggered the Phillies to a 6-2 decision over the Mets. The Phils trailed, 2-1, going into the bottom of the fourth inning, when Greg Luzinski stroked a one-out single and Mike Schmidt followed with a walk. Garry Maddox singled but Luzinski was cut down at the plate on a throw by center fielder Lee Mazzilli. Trillo then followed with a drive into the left field seats for his first round-tripper of the season. [The Sporting News]
