| A run-scoring single by Rob Andrews in the eighth inning enabled the Giants to edge the Astros, 1-0, behind the pitching of Ed Halicki and two relievers. Terry Whitfield singled as the pinch-hitter for Halicki in the eighth, took second on a sacrifice by Derrel Thomas and crossed the plate on Andrews' hit. [The Sporting News] |
