Homers by Doug Rader and Cesar Cedeno in the ninth inning powered the Astros to a 5-4 victory over the Expos. Jim Gosger gave the Expos a 3-1 lead by hitting for the circuit with two men on base in the eighth, but a single by Joe Morgan, pass to John Mayberry and Rader's homer put the Astros ahead in the ninth. Then, after Rader struck out, Cedeno's clout produced what proved to be the Astros' winning run. The Expos rallied in their half of the ninth, but fell short with one run on a double by Rusty Staub.
