Burt Hooton gained his 12th straight victory, setting a Los Angeles club record, when Steve Garvey smashed a two-run homer in the ninth inning to carry the Dodgers past the Astros, 3-2. The Dodgers scored their initial run in the eighth on two walks, a bunt and sacrifice fly by Leron Lee, but the Astros went ahead in the top of the ninth when Cliff Johnson homered with a man on base. In the Dodgers' half, Willie Crawford walked and Garvey ended the game in Hooton's favor with his circuit clout.
