Pushing across two runs in the ninth inning, the Dodgers shaded the Astros, 4-3. Steve Garvey led off with a single and was replaced by pinch-runner Derrel Thomas. One out later, Ron Cey singled and Bill Russell followed with a double that plated Thomas.

Dave Smith relieved Nolan Ryan on the mound for the Astros and passed Mike Scioscia intentionally. Afterthe second out, Davey Lopes tapped a bouncer to the right of the mound. Smith elected to try for the force at home but overthrew catcher Alan Ashby as Cey crossed the plate with the winning tally. [The Sporting News]
