The Phillies, who lost the first two games of the series by identical scores of 1-0, were shut out again by the Astros, 5-0. Don Wilson and Mike Cosgrove combined on the whitewashing. Cosgrove took over after Wilson pulled a muscle running out a grounder in the eighth inning. The Astros decided the game in the second when Lee May homered off Wayne Twitchell. Wilson scored two runs, once after reaching base on a fielder's choice and again after being hit by a pitched ball.
