1967 NL Game: Hou. @ Chi.

 June 26, 1967

   The Houston Astros took both games of yesterday's doubleheader against the 1st place Chicago Cubs due in large part on the hitting of Jimmy Wynn. Wynn blasted 2 homeruns good for 6 RBI in the Astro's Game 1 11-3 win . In the nightcap, he blasted another homer good for 2 RBI and scored 3 times in a 8-5 Houston victory. The 3 homeruns and 8 RBI increased his NL lead in both categories. The 2 loses by the Cubs tightened up an already close pennant race in the NL.
