A two-out single by Von Joshua in the ninth inning scored pinch-runner Derrel Thomas and brought the Giants a 6-5 victory over the Astros. Thomas was on base in place of Steve Ontiveros, who had doubled. The Giants, taking advantage of J.R. Richard's wildness, scored three runs in the first two innings, but the Astros rallied to the tie game in the fourth, with two of their tallies coming on a homer by Doug Rader.
