With a crowd of 19,230 on hand, the Cardinals went over the million mark in home attendance for the 12th straight season while losing to the Astros, 5-1. Lee May, who had three hits, was the Astros' big gun, driving in three runs. In the first inning, after Roger Metzger singled, Cesar Cedeno doubled and Bob Watson grounded out to produce the first tally, May added two more with a homer. The Astros' other tallies counted in the eighth on consecutive singles by Metzger, Cedeno, Watson and May. The Cardinals evaded a shutout with a run in the fourth on a single by Ken Reitz and triple by Joe Torre.
