The Dodgers downed the Astros, 7-2, in a game in which both teams substituted freely after the Astros learned in the third inning they had clinched the N.L. West "second season" championship with the defeat of Cincinnati by Atlanta. Pedro Guerrero drove in three runs for the winners with a pair of singles, and Bob Welch upped his record to 9-5, giving up just three hits in six innings. Houston's Alan Knicely stroked his first major league homer in the sixth stanza.
