Although the Astros and Braves each collected 17 hits, the clubs scored only three runs apiece until the 12th inning when the Astros broke away to gain a 7-4 victory. Singles by Jim Wynn, Bob Watson and Marty Martinez produced the tie-breaking tally. Doug Rader drove in two more runs with a single and scored himself on a double by Norm Miller. A Braves' rally in their half of the 12th yielded only one run.
