Astros 5, Expos 4 (10 inn)
J.R. Richard vs Woodie Fryman
Woodie Fryman continued his mastery over the National League, but walked away from this contest with a no decision thanks to Dale Murray blowing a 3-2 lead. Houston carried a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the 5th, but Richard gave up a lead off triple to Pete Mackanin. 3 consecutive walks later the game was tied at 1-1. Jerry White's sac fly wold score Tim Foli and Jim Dwyer's grounder to short would score Ellis Valentine to make it 3-1. Cesar Cedeno's solo shot to lead off the top of the 6th made it 3-2. Fryman would end his day after 7 innings of rock solid work. Dale Murray took the hill in the top of the 8th and things went south right from the start. Back to back singles by Cedeno and Bob Watson were followed by a cliff Johnson sac fly to tie the game at 3-3. Houston failed to capitalize even further and the game headed to extra innings. After pitching a scoreless 9th, Murray started the 10th in similar fashion to the way he started the 8th, so he was replaced by Wayne Granger, who allowed the runners that he inherited to score. Cliff Johnson's RBI double broke the tie and an error by Larry Parrish at third allowed Bob Watson to score an all important insurance run. Jerry White's solo shot with 2 outs in the bottom of the 10th made it a 1 run game. Back to back singles by Dwyer and Jorgensen put a lot of pressure on reliever Bo McLaughlin, who now had to face Gary Carter with runners on 1st and 2nd and two out. Carter hit a rocket that Enos Cabell sneered mainly out of self defense to end the game.
