The hitting of Denis Menke and Doug Rader provided the Astros' fuel in soaring past the Dodgers, 8-3. Menke homered with two men on base in the first inning. After the Dodgers came back to tie the score, Rader broke the deadlock with a circuit clout in the seventh. The Astros added four runs in the eighth, one counting on a single by Menke for his fourth RBI of the game.
