The smallest crowd in Atlanta Stadium history (737) saw the Braves bow to the Astros and the bat of Cesar Cedeno, who knocked in six runs with two homers and a double in the 9-6 Houston victory. Cedeno doubled home two runs in the first and scored himself on an infield out. He hit a solo homer in the third, then wiped out a 5-4 Atlanta lead in the eighth with a three-run shot. Darrell Evans had an RBI single and two-run homer for the losers. [The Sporting News]
