Claude Osteen yielded only four hits and pitched the Dodgers to a 4-2 victory over the Astros. Osteen gave up a single by Lee May and a homer by Bob Watson in the second inning, but the Dodgers picked up a run in the fourth and loaded the bases on singles by Willie Davis and Wes Parker and a walk to Willie Crawford to chase Don Wilson in the sixth.
