A five-run explosion in the fourth inning against Juan Marichal, making his first appearance for the Dodgers, sent the Astros on their way to a 7-5 victory. The Astros' big inning began when Milt May walked and Cliff Johnson slammed a homer. Jose Cruz then walked, took second on a balk and scored on Doug Rader's single. Roger Metzger then singled and both runners scored on Enos Cabell's double. What proved to be the eventual winning run came in the fifth when Cesar Cedeno walked and scored on Johnson's double.
