Moving to a 1½-game lead in the West division, the Reds pounded out a 7-4 decision over the Astros. The Reds picked up three runs in the first inning on a single by Dave Collins, a passed ball, doubles by Joe Morgan and Dave Concepcion, another passed ball, a walk to George Foster and a double-play gounder. They added three more in the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Dan Driessen and run-scoring singles by Ray Knight and Collins.
