Jim Wynn, who was the hero of a rally that tied the score in the ninth inning, came up again in the 12th and smashed a homer to give the Astros a 6-5 victory over the Padres. The Astros, who were trailing, 5-2, loaded the bases in the ninth and scored one run on an infield out by Roger Metzger. Wynn then singled in two other tallies to send the game into overtime.
