The Dodgers forged ahead with two runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Astros, 3-2. Denis Menke doubled to drive in the Astros' runs in the first inning. A walk, sacrifice and single by Von Joshua produced a run for the Dodgers in the third. Singles by Wes Parker, Bill Sudakis and Bill Buckner tied the score in the seventh and an infield out by Billy Grabarkewitz on a slow grounder allowed the winning run to cross the plate.
