The Astros, who had never beaten Bob Moose previously, losing seven times, finally turned the trick with an 11-hit attack to defeat the Pirates, 7-2. Lee May led the way with two homers, driving in three runs. Jim Wynn accounted for two RBIs with a single. Jerry Reuss held the Pirates to five hits and gave up their runs in the seventh inning when Bob Robertson doubled and Al Oliver homered.
