Steve Ontiveros rapped four of the Giants' 17 hits and Gary Matthews and Von Joshua collected three apiece in an attack that produced a 9-4 victory over the Astros. Pete Falcone beat the Astros for the third straight time this season, but the rookie failed to go the route, yielding to Charlie Williams in the eighth inning. Doug Rader hit a two-run homer for the Astros.
