A two-run homer by Glenn Hubbard in the bottom of the 11th inning lifted the Braves to a 5-4 triumph over the Astros. The Astros had gone ahead, 4-3, in the top of the 11th on a solo homer by Jose Cruz, who had tied the game in the ninth with a bases-empty round-tripper. Charlie Spikes began the Braves' 11th with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice before Hubbard's circuit clout gave the victory to Al Hrabosky. [The Sporting News]
