A short fly by Cesar Cedeno turned into a grand-slam hpmer to lead the Astros to a 9-3 victory over the Dodgers. In the fifth inning, Larry Howard walked and took third on a single by Marty Martinez, but was out trying to score on a squeeze bunt by Don Wilson. After Jesus Alou flied out, Joe Morgan walked to load the bases.
