Jose Cruz hit a double and single, walked twice and scored four of the Astros' runs in a 6-3 victory over the Padres. After taking a 3-0 lead, the Astros added their winning margin in the seventh inning. Enos Cabell doubled and scored on a single by Cesar Cedeno, who stole second. Following an intentional pass to Cruz, a double steal set the stage for a two-run single by Joe Ferguson. George Hendrick swung into action too late for the Padres, accounting for their three runs with a pair of homers off Joe Niekro.
