Cheap grand slam steals show on hot pants night
Astros beat Dodgers 9-3 after Cesar Cedeno's looping pop fly dropped for an inside the park grand slam as Lefebvre and Buckner collided in right field. The crowd of 7,508 watched Janice Markum win a trip to Acapulco for wearing the hottest hot pants. Entwined by the spectacle, managers Alston and Walker praised the odd play while Cedeno dismissed it as luck. The rest of the night featured NL results and notable AL performances including Boston and Detroit victories.
