Mike Schmidt homered with a man on base and Del Unser connected for the circuit with two aboard when the Phillies exploded for seven runs in the sixth inning to defeat the Pirates, 9-2. Tommy Hutton singled ahead of Schmidt's smash. After the attack continued with run-scoring singles by Dave Cash and Larry Bowa, Unser hit his homer to cap the outburst. Every batter in the lineup, with the exception of the pitchers, collected one or more of the Phillies' 18 hits. [The Sporting News]
