With homers accounting for all five runs, the Astros defeated the Cardinals, 3-2. Roger Metzger singled and Tommie Agee homered for the Astros in the third inning. Joe Torre tied the score with a homer behind a walk to Ted Sizemore in the fifth, but Bob Watson then hit for the circuit in the eighth to give the Astros their edge.
