Although tagged for 10 hits, Larry Dierker lasted the route and pitched the Astros to a 6-3 victory over the Giants. The Astros made it possible for Dierker to survive by piling up five runs in the second inning. A walk to Doug Rader, double by Tommy Helms and single by Roger Metzger accounted for the first two tallies. Metzger, who took second on the throw to the plate, scored on a single by Cesar Cedeno.
