The Astros used the flying feet of Cesar Cedeno to snap a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning and beat the Phillies, 4-2. Cedeno scored the go-ahead run from first on a single to right by Bob Watson. Doug Rader's RBI single later produced an insurance run. The Phillies had tied the score in the top of the eighth on a bases-loaded infield single by Dave Cash.
