The Astros, who had lost to Don Sutton seven straight times, turned around, defeating the Dodgers' ace righthander, 5-4. Cesar Cedeno started the Astros' scoring with a homer in the first inning. Two more runs followed in the second on a double by Milt May, triple by Enos Cabell and infield out by Rob Andrews, but the Dodgers tied the score in the third when Jim Wynn homered with two men on base.

After a single by Ron Cey and double by Henry Cruz put the Dodgers ahead in the sixth, the Astros came back with a tally in their half on a single by May, stolen base by pinch-runner Skip Jutze and single by Cabell. Roger Metzger then opened the seventh with a single and counted the deciding run on a triple by Cedeno. [The Sporting News]
