A pinch-double by Biff Pocoroba in the eighth inning enabled the Braves to defeat the Astros, 6-5, and extend their winning streak at the start of the season to a major league record-equalling 11 games. The surge set an N. L. record. With the score tied, 4-4, Chris Chambliss opened the eighth with a double and Bruce Benedict was walked intentionally. Pocoroba, batting for pitcher Al Hrabosky, doubled off reliever Dave Smith to knock in two runs.
