Mick Kelleher, called up from Denver (Pacific Coast) the day before to replace injured Roger Metzger on the Astros' roster, drove in two runs with a pair of singles to lead the way to a 4-2 victory over the Cubs. Both of the Cubs' runs in the second were unearned on two errors that sandwiched a triple by Don Kessinger.
