A record-breaking pinch-homer by Del Unser with two men on base and two out in the ninth lifted the Phillies to a 6-5 triumph over the Padres. The Phils trailed, 5-1, in the ninth, when Jose Cardenal singled with one out and Manny Trillo doubled to chase Padre starter Randy Jones and bring on reliever Rollie Fingers. Bob Boone stroked a two-run single and one out later, pinch-hitter Tim McCarver singled.

Unser batted for Larry Bowa and cracked Fingers' first serve over the center field fence. It was Unser's third consecutive pinch-homer, setting a major league record. Mike Schmidt clouted a solo blast in the sixth inning, tying the N. L. record for most homers in five games -- seven. [The Sporting News]
