A three-run homer by Jose Cruz in the first inning triggered the Astros to a 5-4 decision over the Cubs. An error by shortstop Ivan DeJesus on a grounder by Terry Puhl and a walk to Danny Heep preceded the circuit clout. The Astros added two runs in the sixth on run-scoring singles by Alan Ashby and Kiko Garcia. The Cubs rallied for three in the ninth on a two-run double by Steve Dillard and an RBI single by Bill Buckner before Joe Sambito struck out Leon Durham for the final out with the tying run on third.
