Joaquin Andujar posted his third two-hitter of the season and pitched the Astros to a 5-2 victory over the Dodgers. The Astros did all their scoring in the third inning, starting with singles by Wilbur Howard, Enos Cabell and Cesar Cedeno for the first run. Bob Watson followed with a three-run homer. Walks to Cliff Johnson and Jose Cruz and a single by Roger Metzger added another run before the inning ended.
