A single by Cesar Cedeno with the bases loaded and none out in the 11th inning scored Roger Metzger and gave the Astros a 3-2 victory over the Phillies. Metzger led off with a single and when Joe Morgan bunted, Bilyl Wilson threw wildly. Metzger reached third and Morgan advanced to second on the error.

After an intentional pass to Jim Wynn, the Phillies pulled in their infielders for a possible play at the plate, but Cedeno rapped a bouncer past John Vukovich at third base. Buddy Harris, the Astros' fourth pitcher of the game, worked one inning in relief and received credit for his first major league victory. [The Sporting News]
