Erupting for four runs in the 10th inning, the Giants defeated the Astros, 8-4. Starting the outburst, Larry Herndon singled with one out and Marc Hill reached first on an error by shortstop Craig Reynolds. One out later, pinch-hitter Bill North drew a walk to fill the bases and Bill Madlock followed with a two-run single. Singles by Terry Whitfield and Jack Clark then swelled the margin.
