The Giants provided 14-hit support for rookie Ed Halicki, who chipped in with two himself in winning for the first time in four decisions, 7-2, over the Astros. San Francisco wiped out a 1-0 Astro lead in the second, scoring three times on singles by Gary Matthews, Chris Speier, Bruce Miller and Bobby Bonds and a groundout. The Giants made it 6-1 and kayoed loser Claude Osteen in the sixth with Bonds, Chris Arnold and Speier getting RBI hits. Halicki, who surrendered the final Astro run in the fifth, got it back in the eighth when he singled home Speier with the Giants' final tally.
