Astros 6, Expos 3
Mike Cosgrove vs Clay Kirby
Thanks to a dreary weather earlier in the week the game scheduled for yesterday was rained out. This facilitated that a double header would have to be played today. One of the worst feelings in baseball is the one that you get when you get swept in a double header. The Expos know this feeling. Once again Clay Kirby began leaking oil early on in the contest. A run in the 1st, a run in the 2nd and a run in the 4th added up to a 3-1 deficit. The Astros blew the game open with 3 runs in the 6th as all of Kirby's oil had leaked out and his gears were now ground. Each of Houston's top 3 hitters (Ken Boswell, Enos Cabell and Cesar Cedeno) had 2 hits apiece. The true hitting star was one Jose Cruz, who went 2-4 with 3 RBI and a solo homer. Cabell and Cedeno were able to steal bases easily off of Kirby and his battery-mate Barry Foote. Montreal's offense was busy itself making Mike Cosgrove look like Cy Young himself. The Expos would get two late runs, but it didn't matter as the Astros doubled them up and swept the twin bill.
