| A two-out single by Mickey Hatcher scored Dusty Baker in the 17th inning and gave the Dodgers a 6-5 victory over the Astros in a five-hour, 35-minute marathon. Nolan Ryan, making his N. L. debut with the Astros, smashed a three-run homer and was leading, 5-4, when he was removed for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning. The homer was the first of Ryan's major league career.
