The Astros, who already had used 23 other players, called on pitcher Tom Griffin as a pinch-hitter in the 14th inning in a move that paid off with a run-scoring single to beat the Braves, 3-2. The Braves held a 1-0 lead behind the pitching of Buzz Capra until the ninth when the Astros rallied to tie the score on walks to Roger Metzger and Greg Gross and a single by Cliff Johnson.
