Smith Cruz save Astros in 10th vs Cubs
Astros catcher Jose Cruz hit a game deciding homer in the 10th to turn a 5 5 tie into a 6 5 lead over the Chicago Cubs. Dave Smith, back from a three day stretch, struck out Andre Dawson to end the bottom of the 10th and preserve the win as Hal Lanier trusted his reliever with the winning run aboard. Dawson had tied the game earlier with a first inning homer and added a grand slam in the eighth.
