Scoring all their runs in the second inning in one of the biggest explosions in the club's history, the Braves beat the Astros, 13-6. The Braves' blast was fueled by 12 hits, including a three-run double and two-run single by Felix Millan and a three-run homer by Dusty Baker. Cesar Cedeno and Doug Rader homered for the Astros, each with a man on base in the sixth inning.
