Cesar Cedeno went 3-for-4, including a two-run homer in the ninth inning, to pace a 16-hit attack that carried the Astros to a 7-3 triumph over the Pirates. Rafael Landestoy, Terry Puhl, Jose Cruz and Nolan Ryan each had one RBI for Houston and another run came in on a Pittsburgh error. Ryan, who was derricked after walking the leadoff batter in the seventh inning, got credit for his first road victory of the season. [The Sporting News]
