The use of Cesar Geronimo as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning produced unexpected dividends for the Astros when the outfielder tripled in the 10th to score Jim Wynn and beat the Phillies, 4-3. The Phillies tied the game in the ninth on doubles by Roger Freed and Ron Stone. Wynn walked before Geronimo hit his triple.
