Completing the three-game series sweep, the Astros pounded the Pirates, 12-5. A two-run double by Cesar Cedeno broke a 2-2 tie and keyed a four-run outburst in the third inning. Cedeno also drove in a run with a sixth-inning double. Terry Puhl rapped four hits and Jose Cruz collected three as the Astros assaulted four Pirates pitchers for 18 blows.
