A run-scoring single by Jose Cruz in the ninth inning enabled the Astros to snap a 4-4 tie and score a 5-4 victory over the Braves. Denny Walling singled with one out in the ninth and advanced to third on a double by Craig Reynolds. Walling was thrown out trying to score on Cesar Cedeno's grounder, but Cruz followed with a line single to right.
