The Astros finished their homestand on a sour note, losing their last two games to the Giants, combining for only two runs and eight hits in those games. Meanwhile, they wasted another good performance by pitcher Frmaber Valdez, who allowed two runs in six innings, but nonetheless notched his fourth loss of the season against two wins.
The Astros blew an early opportunity of the game in the first inning. They managed three hits against starter Brandon Webb without a run; an Alex Bregman double play the rally killer.
The Giants weren’t much better against Framber Valdez until the sixth inning.
