Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski drove in nine runs between them to power the Phillies to an 11-0 trouncing of the Dodgers. Schmidt accounted for five RBIs with two homers and a double, while Luzinski produced four runs with a double, a bases-loaded walk and a single. Dick Ruthven, who pitched the first seven innings for the Phillies, gained his fifth straight victory and ended a string of seven losses to the Dodgers since 1976. [The Sporting News]
