Holding the Reds to one hit over the first four innings and getting home-run backing from Doug Rader and Cesar Cedeno, Tom Griffin chalked up his eighth victory in 11 decisions as the Astros stopped the Reds, 6-1. Rader followed Lee May's inning-opening double in the second and walk to Cliff Johnson with his homer off loser on Gullett. Tommy Helms' single, Griffin's sacrifice and Roger Metzger's bloop single made it a four-run inning.
