Ken Forsch pitched a three-hitter and Jim Wynn drove in both of the Astros' runs with a homer and single to defeat the Reds, 2-1. After Wynn homered in the fourth inning, Lee May hit for the circuit in the Reds' half. However, in the sixth, Roger Metzger doubled and counted the deciding run on Wynn's single.
