The idle Reds clinched the West division title when the second-place Dodgers lost to the Astros, 10-5. The Astros scored three runs in the first inning on a walk to Cesar Cedeno, a theft of second, a double by Jim Wynn and homer by Denis Menke. The Dodgers picked up one run in their half and went ahead with four in the sixth. Wes Parker hit a two-run single and Bill Sudakis drove in two with a double, but the Astros exploded for six runs in the seventh, featuring a grand-slam homer by Bob Watson.
