Suns Handled by Houston, 8-4
Houston catcher Jerry Robinson played a vital role in his team's 8-4 conquest of Los Angeles. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for Houston. The winner was George Roy, who threw 110 pitches over 8 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 6 hits. Houston now sports a record of 74-64.

George Roy's at-bat in the bottom of the fifth was significant for the Comets. Coming to the plate with runners on 1st and 3rd and Houston trailing 3-2, the Comets pitcher grounded out, driving in 1 run.

Roy attributed the triumph to "a good team effort."
