The Astros erupted for six runs in the fifth inning and defeated the Padres, 9-1. The Padres counted on a triple by Derrel Thomas and infield out by Glenn Beckert in the third inning, but the lead was short-lived. Cesar Cedeno homered for the Astros in the fourth and another run followed on singles by Milt May, Lee May and Doug Rader. The Astros then went on their binge in the fifth with six hits, including two-run doubles by Tommy Helms and Dave Roberts.
