Cesar Cedeno and Lee May drove in five runs apiece to lead the Astros to a 15-11 victory over the Dodgers in a free-hitting contest marked by a record-tying use of pitchers. The Astros called on eight hurlers to equal the N. L. record for a nine-inning game. The Dodgers used six pitchers and the two-club total of 14 matched the major league mark.
