Pitching the first complete game of his career, Rick Mahler set down Houston on three hits as the Braves defeated the Astros, 3-1. The Braves took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Bob Horner singled, stole second and tallied on Matt Sinatro's single, the latter's first major league RBI. Atlanta added a pair in the fourth on a walk to Glenn Hubbard, single by Luis Gomez and two-run double by Mahler.
