Rusty Staub drove in a run with a double and scored himself in the third inning and then singled in the seventh when the Mets counted two more runs to defeat the Astros, 5-3. John Milner hit a sacrifice fly in the third and batted in the Mets' last run with a single in the ninth. Doug Rader had his second straight two-homer game for the Astros and drove in all of their runs.
