The Astros were held to seven hits, but used six of them in their scoring to gain a 4-3 victory over the Phillies, who collected 10 hits but counted only on homers by Larry Bowa, Deron Johnson and John Bateman. The Astros bunched a single by Doug Rader, double by Tommy Helms, single by Dave Roberts and double by Jim Wynn for three runs in the fifth inning and added their deciding tally when Bob Watson and Johnny Edwards singled in the sixth and Rader hit a sacrifice fly.
