Tommy John gained his 20th victory of the season, but the Dodgers had to call on two relievers in the ninth inning before edging the Astros, 5-4. John helped himself by driving in a run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning. Steve Yeager homered in the fifth and Dusty Baker also hit for the circuit after a pass to Steve Garvey in the sixth. Bill Russell, who had three hits, drove in what proved to be the deciding run in the seventh.
