The Astros maintained at least a two-game lead in the National League West, with four games to play. Ruble, 12-4, who pitched a three- hitter and a four-hitter in his pre vious two starts, gave up RBI hits by Hubbard and Bruce Benedict to fall behind 2-0 in the second inning. Over the final seven innings, howev er, he faced 22 batters, giving up two singles and a walk. Ruble was backed by two double plays in the middle innings as he struggled. In the fifth, after Benedict singled, first baseman Art Howe fielded Phil Niekro’s bunt and threw to second base to start a double play and ignite a rhubarb which brought three Braves coaches on the field. Umpire Ed Montague at first sig naled Benedict safe at second, but then reversed his call. Ruble walked Dale Murphy on four pitches to start the seventh in ning, but after going 2-and-0 on Hubbard he struck him out and got a double play when catcher Alan Ashby threw the stealing Murphy out at second base. Ashby’s double led off the Astros’ four-run second inning. Atlanta star ter and loser Niekro, 15-17, walked Joe Morgan and Enos Cabell after getting two out. Then Puhl’s double cleared the bases.
