April 27:

New York (6-7) at Houston (7-6)
The Astrodome

Roy McMillan's two-run double in the second looks like it might stand up until Joe Gaines sends a sacrifice fly in the eighth to score John Bateman and cut the New Yorkers' lead in half. In the bottom of the ninth, Bob Aspromonte chases starter Jack Fisher with a leadoff double. One out later, reliever Dennis Ribant walks Ron Brand before pinch-hitter Eddie Kasko, back after nursing a broken toe, doubles home both runs to beat the Mets, 3-2. Hal Woodeshick wins in relief of Don Nottebart.
