Jose Cruz and Cliff Johnson walked with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to give the Astros two runs for a 5-3 victory over the Reds. Santo Alcala, a previous winner of five straight decisions, gave up singles by Larry Dierker and Cesar Cedeno and passed Bob Watson to load the bases before walking Cruz to force in the run that broke a 3-3 tie. Alcala then went to a full count on Johnson before being replaced by Rawly Eastwick, who issued the fourth ball to force in the extra marker.
