Julio Gonzalez tripled in the seventh inning and scored on a sacrifice fly by Cesar Cedeno to bring the Astros a 4-3 victory over the Mets. A homer by John Milner in the second and a clout by Ed Kranepool with a man on base in the fourth gave the Mets a 3-0 lead. The Astros rallied to tie the score in the sixth with a walk to Cedeno, single by Enos Cabell, a double steal, double by Jose Cruz and single by Bob Watson.
