Jerry Reuss pitched a five-hitter and also drove in the tie-breaking run with a single in the eighth inning as the Astros opened their home season with a 4-1 victory over the Dodgers before a crowd of 28,399 in the Astrodome. Doug Rader walked in the eighth, moved to second on a sacrifice by Larry Howard and advanced to third after Roger Metzger flied out deep to center field.
