Greg Luzinski drove in four runs in leading the Phillies to a 7-2 victory over the Mets, who suffered their 10th loss in the last 12 games. Luzinski doubled for one of the Phillies' four runs in the first inning, homered with a man on base in the second and added his fourth RBI with a sacrifice fly in the seventh. Steve Carlton held the Mets to five hits, including a homer by Lee Mazzilli. [The Sporting News]
