Johnny Edwards ended a four-hour, 13-minute game by hitting a sacrifice fly in the 14th inning, scoring Cesar Cedeno, to bring the Astros a 5-4 victory over the Giants. The Astros left 25 men on base, breaking the major league record for a 14-inning game. The Giants stranded only six. Willie Mays collected a homer and single for the Giants, leaving him only four hits short of the 3,000 goal. Willie McCovey homered with a man on base for the Giants in the seventh to tie the score at 3-3 and Mays sent the Frisco crew ahead with his round-tripper in the ninth, but the Astros pulled even in their half with a single by Bob Watson and triple by Denis Menke.
