Jerry Reuss fired a two-hitter as the Dodgers blanked the Astros, 1-0. The veteran southpaw permitted only two balls to be hit out of the infield, struck out seven and issued no walks. The Dodgers' run came in the seventh when Dusty Baker walked, advanced to second on a wild pitch and tallied on a two-out single by Joe Ferguson.
