Houston’s Randy Johnson allowed 3 homers and 5 runs, but the Hoots nearly won it anyway after LA’s Don Drysdale left after the 2nd inning with a tight hamstring. But Tony Pérez hit a 10th-inning walk-off solo homer off Rube Marquard to give the Dynamos the win. It was Pérez’ 2nd homer of the game, both solo shots. Los Angeles’ Don Sutton came in to start the 3rd, allowing 3 runs in the 5th and a Jeff Bagwell 2-run homer in the 7th to tie the game. For the 3rd straight game, the teams headed to extra innings. With both bullpens overworked, Marquard was asked to pitch into his 3rd inning when Pérez connected with one out. Los Angeles improved to 16-14, while Houston fell to 12-18. Goose Gossage allowed a hit and a walk, but struck out the side in a scoreless 10th for the win. Dave Winfield and Jackie Robinson both hit 2-run homers for the Dynamos.
