A two-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Astros a 3-2 win over the sagging Reds. With the Astros trailing, 2-1, Terry Puhl led off the ninth with a single and scored when Jose Cruz followed with a double. After going to third on an infield out, Cruz scored when pinch-hitter Bob Watson lofted a sacrifice fly to center field.
