With two out in the 10th inning, the Dodgers scored five runs and then stood off a counter-rally by the Astros to gain a 10-8 victory. Jim Bouton, after retiring the first two batters in the overtime stanza, walked Jim Lefebvre. Steve Garvey singled and Billy Grabarkewitz beat out an infield tap to load the bases. Manny Mota walked to force in the tie-breaking tally.

Bouton departed in favor of Ron Cook, who was tagged for singles by Willie Davis and Wes Parker, each driving in two runs. As it turned out, the Dodgers needed those extra tallies when the Astros came back with three runs in their half on a walk, singles by Joe Pepitone and Doug Rader and a double by Johnny Edwards.
