Although suffering from a foot injury, Maury Wills came to the plate as a pinch-hitter and cracked a two-run double as the Dodgers rallied for five runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Astros, 6-5, for their seventh straight victory. A triple by Cesar Cedeno, who batted in two runs, paced the Astros to a 4-1 lead going into the ninth.
