Ken Holtzman racked up an impressive total of 10 strikeouts and third baseman

Ron Santo went yard and had 2 RBI at The Astrodome where the Chicago Cubs

beat the Houston Astros 4 to 2.

 

Holtzman(4-3) gave Chicago a solid outing. He was stingy on the mound,

allowing just 4 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings improving his ERA from 3.54 to

3.30.  Chicago rapped out 7 hits for the night.  

 

Larry Dierker(6-3) was the losing pitcher.  He surrendered 4 runs and 7 hits

in 9 innings.  Holtzman, when asked about his 10 strikeout performance noted,

'The important thing is that we won, if I get 20 and we lose, what good does

it do our team? But, on the other hand, since we won it feels great!'
