Hot-hitting Doug Rader drove in four runs with a double and homer to pace the Astros to a 9-2 victory over the Pirates. Rader, in extending his batting streak to 14 games, plated a run with his double in the first inning and hit for the circuit with two aboard in the fifth. Johnny Edwards accounted for two RBIs with a double in the seventh. Willie Stargell homered for the Pirates, who failed to make full use of their 14 hits off Larry Dierker.
