Starting with five runs in the first inning, the Astros built up an early lead to gain a 10-7 victory over the Pirates, who scored six of their runs in last three frames in a futile effort to catch up. The Astros sent 11 men to bat in the first and chased both Bob Moose and John Morlan with an attack that included a double by Cesar Cedeno and singles by Greg Gross, Roger Metzger, Milt May and Tommy Helms, plus two walks. Metzger batted in two runs with a triple in the third.
