Over at Play That Funky Baseball, your '77 Astros performed in the following manner:

W-Lemongello
L-Bonham
HR: Cedeno
GWRBI-Puhl
Cubs 6
Astros 5
After Joe Niekro’s super first start he walks nine Cubbies in this one, five in the first inning. Houston ties it up off Burris eventually, but Ontiveros wins it with a solo pop in the 9th.
