Bob Knepper not only pitched a six-hitter in a 6-2 victory over the Astros, but the Giants' lefthander clinched his own decision with a two-run double in the eighth inning. Knepper did not issue a pass while going the distance for the third time this season. Jack Clark also had two RBIs for the Giants with a sacrifice fly and double.
