Bob Watson and Tommy Helms batted in three runs apiece and Lee May drove in two to lead the Astros to a 9-4 victory over the Phillies. May accounted for his RBIs with a double in the first inning. After the Phillies tied the score with the aid of a homer by Mike Anderson, Watson broke the deadlock with a circuit clout in the sixth.
