Giants Beat Astros 5-2 To Win Home Series
Noah Lowry pitched seven scoreless innings allowing one hit to lift the San Francisco Giants over the Houston Astros 5-2. Edgardo Alfonzo drove in two runs with RBI singles, Mike Matheny homered, and San Francisco snapped a home-stand drought by taking the series. Morgan Ensberg hit a two-run homer for Houston in the ninth, but the Astros were unable to threaten after Lowry’s dominance. The Giants continue their surge after a rough start to the series, with Ray Durham and Omar Vizquel contributing in the early offense to back the lefty’s strong effort.
