Still searching for his first victory of the season, Bill Singer was handed his fourth straight defeat when the Astros beat the Dodgers, 5-3. Dick Allen homered for the Dodgers with two men on base in the sixth to tie the score, but Doug Rader broke the deadlock with a run-scoring triple in the eighth and the Astros added an extra run on two singles and a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
