A sacrifice fly by Enos Cabell in the 10th inning scored Terry Puhl and brought the Astros a 4-3 victory over the Mets. Jerry Koosman, pitching for the Mets, had a 3-0 lead and was working on a four-hitter until the Astros rallied for five singles to tie score in the ninth. In the 10th, Puhl singled, took third on a single by Rafael Landestoy and scored the winning run on Cabell's fly. Elliott Maddox dropped the ball and was charged with an error, but Cabell was credited with a sacrifice fly and run batted in.
