Larry Dierker, who had not pitched a complete game since 1972, after being out most of last season with a variety of arm ailments, pitched the Astros to a 3-1 victory over the Giants. Dierker gave up the Giants' run in the first inning on a single to Bobby Bonds, a hit batsman and single by Gary Matthews, but yielded only one hit the rest of the way.
