After falling behind by four runs in the first inning, the Astros came back to nip the Giants, 6-5. The Astros picked up two tallies in the third inning on a walk to Terry Puhl, an infield out, a single by Cesar Cedeno and double by Enos Cabell. They added four more in the fourth frame on a leadoff homer by Alan Ashby, a base on balls, fielder's choice and consecutive singles by Puhl, Craig Reynolds and Cedeno.
