Luzinski Hits 21st Homer Sparks Phillies Rally
Greg Luzinski, nicknamed Bull, blasted his 21st homer in a two-run shot in the sixth to help the Philadelphia Phillies edge the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3. The win pulled Philadelphia within five games of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL East as Dick Allen delivered a two-run triple in the eighth. Luzinski, coming off knee surgery last year, has 13 homers in 30 days and 63 RBIs this season. The Cardinals walked Luzinski with the go-ahead run on base, then Allen delivered the decisive hit. In other NL games, Braves blanked Giants 6-0, Reds beat Astros 4-3, Mets beat Cubs 7-2, and Dodgers edged Padres 6-5 in 14 innings.
