The Dodgers drew nine walks and converted four of them into runs to gain a 5-1 victory over the Astros. Floyd Bannister, who started for the Astros, issued four passes without trouble but then in the fifth inning Reggie Smith and Ron Cey walked and Steve Garvey followed with a homer, hitting safely in his 14th straight game. Gene Pentz, in relief, loaded the bases with free tickets in the sixth and the Dodgers added their last two tallies on a sacrifice fly by Smith and single by Cey.
