Larry Dierker allowed only four hits before being relieved by Fred Scherman in the ninth inning and also scored one of the Astros' runs in a 2-0 victory over the Padres. Dierker doubled in the third and crossed the plate on singles by Greg Gross and Roger Metzger. The Astros' other run counted in the sixth on a triple by Milt May and single by Doug Rader. Dierker was lifted in the ninth with one out after issuing two passes. Scherman retired Willie McCovey on a fly and Johnny Grubb on a pop-up to save the game.
