The Astros swept a doubleheader from the Braves, winning the first game, 6-5, and capturing the nightcap, 6-1. In the opener, the Astros trailed, 5-4, going into the eighth inning but tied the score on a leadoff homer by Cesar Cedeno. With two out, Craig Reynolds doubled, pinch-hitter Bruce Bochy walked and Terry Puhl hit an infield single to load the bases. Joe Morgan then hit a bouncer over the mound that second baseman Glenn Hubbard was unable to handle and Reynolds scored the deciding run on the hit.
