Bob Shirley turned in a tremendous pitching performance before weakening in the ninth inning, but the rookie lefthander emerged with the victory when the Padres defeated the Astros, 4-2. Shirley gave up a single to Julio Gonzalez, the Astros' leadoff batter in the game, but then retired 25 consecutive batters before Cliff Johnson, pinch-hitting for the Astros, homered with one out in the ninth.
