 Houston 9, San Francisco 1 WP-Griffin (1-0) LP-Willoughby (0-2) Astros sent 11 men to the plate in the 1st, scoring 7 times, including back-to-back homers by Lee May with 2 on and Doug Rader.

Los Angeles 2, Cincinnati 1 WP-Sutton (1-0) LP-Gullett (0-2) Dodgers held to 3 hits, but scored run in 1st on errors by Darrel Chaney and Johnny Bench. Buckner added late homer for insurance.
