| A two-run single by winning pitcher Ken Forsch highlighted the Astros' 4-2 triumph over the Dodgers. Singles by Jose Cruz, Denny Walling and Enos Cabell produced one run in the second inning. After a single by Jeff Leonard loaded the bases, Forsch followed with a blooper that fell in for a hit, driving in two runs. The Astros' final tally came in the third when Terry Puhi doubled, moved to third on an infield out and tallied on an infield hit by Cabell. [The Sporting News] |
