The Astros quickly overcome a 2-0 deficit with three runs in the fourth inning and defeated the Phillies, 3-2. Willie Montanez singled and Bill Robinson homered for the Phillies' markers in the top half of the fourth before the Astros struck back with a pass to Roger Metzger, double by Lee May and homer by Bob Watson. Dave Roberts, who started for the Astros, left the game with an upset stomach after striking out leadoff batter Casar Tovar. Jim Ray relieved and was the winner with the save going to Ken Forsch.
