A momentary bobble by Joe Morgan of a hot grounder in the fourth inning proved the break that enabled the Padres to defeat the Astros, 3-2. Nate Colbert drove in the Padres' first two runs with a single and homer. Larry Stahl singled in the fourth and Leron Lee followed with a sharp grounder to Morgan, who juggled the ball, missing the chance for a possible double play, although able to throw out Lee at first.
