Back in action after two days of rest, a revived Doug Rader drove in three runs with two homers to lead the Astros to a 6-2 victory over the Mets. Rader rapped his first round-tripper in the second inning. After Bob Watson doubled and scored on a single by Lee May in the sixth, Rader homered again. Cesar Cedeno accounted for the Astros' last two tallies with a circuit clout in the eighth.
