Dodgers Top Astros 5 2 As Rau Delivers Seven Strong Innings
Dodgers beat the Astros 5-2 in the Astrodome as Doug Rau, buoyed by a steady seven innings, avenged spring training woes. Steve Garvey doubled and scored on Yeager’s fielder’s choice, Cey hit his first homer, and Ron Cey provided the power while Ray finished last season with a 14-8 record but ankle trouble limited him. Joe Ferguson and Dusty Baker contributed for Houston, and J.R. Richard was set to start against Burt Hooten as Houston regrouped despite their mounting losses.
