Staked to a three-run lead in the first inning, Doyle Alexander pitched the Dodgers to a 6-1 victory over the Astros. Bobby Valentine opened the game with a safe tap down the third base line and took second on Ron Cook's wild throw. After stopping at third on a single by Willie Davis, Valentine scored on a sacrifice fly by Dick Allen. Wes Parker followed with a homer, crossing the plate behind Davis.
