Capping a route-going performance, Carl Morton singled and scored in the 10th inning to bring the Braves a 2-1 victory over the Astros. Morton gave up the Astros' run in the first on a double by Jose Cruz and single by Cesar Cedeno.

The Braves tied the score against Dave Roberts in the fourth on a pass to Dusty Baker and singles by Rowland Office and Vic Correll. After Morton hit his single in the 10th, Ralph Garr struck out. Rod Gilbreath sacrificed, leading to an intentional pass to Darrell Evans. Mike Lum then singled to drive in Morton with the winning run. [The Sporting News]
