The Astros scored twice in the sixth to break a 1-1 tie and went on to defeat the Padres, 4-1. Rookie Joe McIntosh, who had won his first three decisions, received the loss. Singles by Larry Milbourne and Cesar Cedeno, a sacrifice by Milt May and two-run single by Bob Watson put Houston ahead in the sixth. The Astros scored an unearned run in the second and Greg Gross singled home the final Houston run in the ninth. The Padres' only run came on Dave Winfield's sixth homer in the fourth inning.
