Steve Carlton went the distance in this one, but he allowed four runs and thus did not get a quality start. Still, he earned his seventeenth win, in a 7 to 4 win over the Houston Astros. He is four wins back in the win column and one ahead in the loss column as compared to real life. Joe Lis hit a two-run homerun for Houston.
