John Montefusco, who pitched five innings before his shoulder began to tighten, received credit for his 10th victory of the season when the Giants defeated the Astros, 3-1. The Giants opened the scoring with a run in the second on a double by Gary Matthews, a balk by J.R. Richard and sacrifice fly by Willie Montanez. After adding an unearned run in the third, the Giants completed their scoring with a homer by Chris Speier in the fourth. Doug Rader accounted for the Astros' run with a round-tripper in the fifth.
