Greg Luzinski, who had been in a slugging slump, hit his first homer since August 17, driving in two runs in the first inning, to start the Phillies off to a 5-1 victory over the Expos. By winning, the second-place Phillies remained six games behind the Pirates in East Division competition.

Luzinski's homer, his 32nd of the year, followed a single by Garry Maddox and pinned the defeat on Steve Renko. Wayne Simpson pitched six innings and gained his first victory with the Phillies. Gene Garber finished. [The Sporting News]
