With last-out help from Joe Sambito, Vern Ruhle pitched the Astros to a 4-2 victory over the Cardinals. Ruhle yielded only four hits while collecting two himself, including a double that scored Cesar Cedeno in the fourth inning and put the Astros ahead, 3-0. A walk, balk and single by Jose Cruz added a tally in the fifth before the Cardinals scored on a single by Ted Simmons and homer by George Hendrick in the eighth.
