A homer by Willie Crawford, together with run-scoring singles by Wes Parker and Billy Grabarkewitz, enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Astros, 3-2. Willie Davis walked, stole second and crossed the plate on Parker's single in the first inning. Crawford homered in the fourth. Parker walked in the seventh, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored what proved to be the winning run when Grabarkewitz singled. [The Sporting News]
