Kemp Slugs Astros to 3-1 Win
The Houston Astros topped the Atlanta Braves, 3-1, in National League action at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium 1974. The game was highlighted by the performance of Houston right fielder Steve Kemp. The Astros, at 34-42, sit in 5th place in the National League West Division.

Kemp had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-1 changeup from Charlie Lea, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Astros a 3-1 lead. It was the 13th home run of the year for Kemp.

"We faced good pitching and still got it done," said Kemp.
