Dave Roberts, gaining his first victory with the Astros, scattered seven singles and shut out the Giants, 6-0. The triumph was the lefthander's first over the Giants after losing to them five times while with the Padres and once with the Astros in his first start of the season April 16. Jim Wynn and Johnny Edwards supported Roberts with homers, Wynn's wallop coming with two men on base in the fifth inning.
