Driving in five runs with two homers and a single, Greg Luzinski led the White Sox to a 7-2 thumping of the Blue Jays. His first round-tripper came in the opening frame and scored Ron LeFlore, who was aboard via a walk.

His second blast, in the seventh, capped Chicago's scoring and plated Carlton Fisk, on base via an error by shortstop Alfredo Griffin. The Sox tallied two runs in the third on run-scoring singles by Mike Squires and Luzinski. [The Sporting News]
