While Larry Dierker pitched a shutout, the Astros handed John Montefusco his first major league defeat, beating the Giants, 5-0. Montefusco, who had two victories to his credit, yielded only four hits but gave up two runs in the first inning on walks to Roger Metzger and Bob Watson, a single by Milt May and throwing error by Gary Thomasson. The Astros added their other runs in the third on a double by Cesar Cedeno, single by May, walk to Cliff Johnson and double by Tommy Helms.
