The Astros closed a disastrous homestand as the 8-5 victims of the Padres and Cito Gaston, whose three-run homer in the ninth gave the victory to San Diego, saddled Houston with their fifth defeat in eight games. Jerry Morales doubled over Cesar Cedeno's head with the bases loaded in the third to account for the first three Padre runs, and doubled again in the seventh during a two-run rally which tied the score at 5-5.
