Willie Davis collected four hits, including a bases-loaded triple, to lead the Dodgers to a 7-2 victory over the Astros. Davis batted in one run with a single in the fifth inning when the Dodgers counted twice to tie the score at 2-2. A walk and singles by Jim Lefebvre and Len Gabrielson added the leading run in the sixth. Davis hit his triple after three walks loaded the bases in the eighth and then scored himself on a double by Wes Parker. [The Sporting News]
