The Astros jumped on Steve Rogers for five runs in the first inning and went on to defeat the Expos, 8-4. The first five batters reached base against Rogers on singles by Greg Gross and Roger Metzger, consecutive walks to Cesar Cedeno and Bob Watson and a single by Lee May, accounting for three runs. After Milt May was retired, Doug Rader was safe on an error by Bob Bailey, Watson scoring. May pulled a leg muscle racing to third and gave way to Cliff Johnson, who scored on a sacrifice fly by Tommy Helms.
