A triple by Cesar Cedeno for his third hit of the game sparked the Astros in the ninth inning and led to a 3-1 victory over the Cubs. Cedeno held third as Lee May grounded out, but then scored on a single by Milt May to break a 1-1 tie. Singles by Bob Watson and Doug Rader and sacrifice fly by Tommy Helms added an insurance run. The Cubs counted their lone tally in the first on singles by Jose Cardenal, Billy Williams and Andre Thornton. The Astros' tying run scored in the fifth on a walk to Watson, infield out by Rader and single by Helms.
