23,839 fans were treated to a fine game at The Astrodome as only one run separated the combatants at game's end. The Houston Astros won by the slimmest of margins, 4 to 3.
Houston took the lead for good in the 4th inning scoring one runner. Manchester tried unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th.
Jim Barr(1-0) picked up the victory, allowing 3 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings. Barr got help from Ron Reed who was credited with his 1st save. Jack Billingham(0-1) absorbed the loss.
Chuck Carline was in a sour mood after the game. 'Even you guys up in the press box know why we lost this game. We made too many mistakes.'
