Doug Rader collected four hits, including a homer, and drove in half of the Astros' runs in an 8-3 victory over the Expos. Milt May singled to produce the Astros' first two runs in the opening frame. Cesar Cedeno walked in the fourth and Bob Watson was safe when the Expos failed in an attempted forceout. Rader singled to drive in one run, another scored on a wild pitch by Steve Rogers and a third run counted on a single by Tommy Helms. Rader then capped the Astros' scoring with a three-run homer in the eighth. Barry Foote hit one for the Expos.
