Manny Mota's sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the 13th inning gave the Dodgers a 6-5 victory over the Astros. Joe Ferguson led off the 13th with a single. When Steve Yeager attempted to sacrifice, losing pitcher Paul Siebert threw wildly into center field. Bill Russell was walked intentionally and Mota followed with a fly to right.
