The relief pitching of Ken Forsch, who took over for Don Wilson in the ninth inning, saved the Astros' 3-2 victory over the Phillies. Tommy Hutton doubled and stopped at third on a single by Mike Anderson to force the exit of Wilson. Forsch then quelled the threat, inducing Dave Cash to bounce into a double play via the plate and retiring Larry Bowa on a grounder.
