Posting his first major league shutout, Pete Falcone pitched the Giants to a 3-0 victory in the nightcap of a doubleheader for a split with the Astros, who won the opener, 3-2. Doug Konieczny, who lost three games last season and two this year, was a winner for the first time in the lidlifter. The Astros reached John Montefusco for two runs in the second inning on a single by Jose Cruz, triple by Ken Boswell and squeeze bunt by Roger Metzger. What proved to be the deciding run followed in the fourth when Cruz singled, took third on a single by Boswell and scored on a sacrifice fly by Metzger.
