For the second straight night Rafael Landestoy provided the winning blow as the Astros defeated the Padres, 4-3. With the Astros trailing 3-1 entering the ninth inning, Enos Cabell and Dave Bergman started the rally with singles.

Reliever Rollie Fingers wild-pitched Cabell home before Alan Ashby smashed a double to tie the score 3-3. Bob Shirley replaced Fingers on the mound for the Padres. After a fly ball by Joe Morgan sent pinch-runner Julio Gonzalez to third, Landestoy lined a single to center for the deciding run. [The Sporting News]
