Mark Lemongello came within one out of a complete-game shutout before yielding the mound to Ken Forsch, who struck out Phil Garner with two men on base to save the Astros' 3-0 victory over the Pirates. The Astros scored all their runs in the fourth inning. Enos Cabell singled and stole second. Cesar Cedeno was hit by a pitch. Bob Watson, Cliff Johnson and Art Howe then followed with run-scoring singles.
