| Combining on a five-hitter, Nolan Ryan and Joe Sambito hurled the Astros to a 4-2 triumph over the Giants. The Astros scored twice in the first inning on a single by Terry Puhl, triple by Enos Cabell and single by Cesar Cedeno. An RBI single by Craig Reynolds in the second and a third-inning sacrifice fly by Jose Cruz accounted for Houston's final two runs. [The Sporting News] |
