St. Louis (23-16) at Houston (19-24)
The Astrodome
Turk Farrell goes the distance scattering seven hits as the Astros clip the Redbirds, 6-1. The Astros ring up only six hits themselves but are very efficient with them. Eddie Kasko starts the attacked with a double off Ray Washburn in the first which led to a run. The Astros get two more in second courtesy of Farrell's RBI grounder and an error by Dick Groat. Lee Maye drives in a pair and Jim Wynn finishes off the night with a solo shot off Bob Purkey, his team-best eighth long ball of the season.
