The Astros, who collected 19 hits in the previous night's game, continued to feast on Giants' pitching with 18 more safeties in a 13-4 victory. Bob Watson led the way with a homer, triple and single, driving in four runs. Greg Gross, Milt May and Doug Rader also had three hits apiece, while Lee May rapped a homer and double. The Giants knocked out Tom Griffin in the fifth inning and tied the score at 3-3, but Gary Matthews dropped a line drive by Tommy Helms with two out in the sixth and the error led to three unearned runs that put the Astros ahead to stay.
