Although held to only four hits by Steve Carlton, the Astros took advantage of three walks in the sixth inning and scored three runs to defeat the Phillies, 5-2. Cliff Johnson homered for the Astros in the fourth and another run counted on an error and a triple by J.R. Richard in the fifth before the Phillies came back to tie the score. However in the sixth, after Carlton gave up three walks, Joe Ferguson broke the tie with a sacrifice fly and Julio Gonzalez iced the Astros' victory with a two-run double.
