Joe Morgan is the first Houston player with six hits in a game, but the Braves beat the Astros, 9 – 8, in 12 innings, thanks to Mike de la Hoz. De la Hoz hits a pinch homer in the 8th inning, ties the game in the 9th with a single when the Braves score three runs, and singles and scores the winning run to end the game.

Don Demeter of the Phillies plays his record 226th consecutive game without an error in the OF. Finishing his string in the American League, Demeter will play 266 games without an error, a major league record, but his 226 mark will subsequently be broken in the National League by Doug Dascenzo; Darren Lewis will later break the major league record.
