Steve Yeager led off the seventh inning with a tie-breaking home run and Burt Hooton pitched a six-hitter as the Dodgers edged the Astros, 2-1. Hooton permitted a leadoff single to Greg Gross, then retired 17 straight batters until two outs in the sixth when the Astros scored on a walk to Gross and singles by Rob Andrews and Jose Cruz. The Dodgers tallied in the second when Ed Goodson singled, advanced on an infield out and scored on Bill Russell's single.
