Don Wilson pitched and batted the Astros to a 3-0 victory over the Braves, limiting Atlanta to five hits, four of them singles. Wilson's double, on the heels of Tommy Helms' two-bagger with one out in the fourth, broke a scoreless tie. Roger Metzger followed with a single for a 2-0 Houston advantage. Bob Watson's two-out double and single by Lee May accounted for the final Astro run in the seventh. The victory moved the Astros to three games behind the third-place Braves in the N. L. West.
