Jesus Alou, who entered the game in the second inning after Jim Wynn hurt his back, collected three hits to lead the Astros to a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers. A single by Alou paved the way for the Astros' first run in the sixth. After Bob Watson forced Alou, Denis Menke drove in a run with a double. In the eighth, Cesar Cedeno reached second base when Bill Russell dropped his pop fly in short center field and scored the winning run when Alou singled.
