Winning pitcher Don Sutton drew two key walks as the Astros downed the Pirates, 3-1. The Astros took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Sutton walked with the bases loaded. After the Bucs tied the game in the third on a run-scoring double by Omar Moreno, the Astros went ahead in the fourth when Alan Ashby, who had reached first on a fielder's choice, advanced to second on a walk to Sutton and scored on a single by Terry Puhl. Houston tallied an insurance marker in the eighth on a leadoff triple by Art Howe and run-scoring single by Kiko Garcia.
