The Astros scored seven runs on only three hits in the fourth inning and rolled past the Cardinals, 13-9. With Jim Wynn hitting a homer, the Astros went ahead, 3-1, but their lead disappeared when the Cardinals railed for five runs in the third, three on a circuit clout by Dick Allen and two on a round-tripper by Jose Cardenal.
