The relief work of Chuck Taylor, who pitched out of trouble in the ninth inning, enabled the Cardinals to gain a 3-2 victory over the Astros. Taylor relieved after Doug Rader drew a walk. An error by Julian Javier and a single by Norm Miller then produced a run for the Astros, but Taylor retired the next three batters.
