Timely hitting and tight pitching enabled the Astros to edge the Padres, 2-1. Winning hurler Joaquin Andujar drove in the Astros' first run with a second-inning single to plate Roger Metzger, who had tripled. Metzger drove in the other tally in the fourth frame with a sacrifice fly to score Art Howe, who had doubled and moved to third on an infield out. The Padres' lone run came on Dave Winfield's homer with two out in the eighth.
