| Ground-rule doubles by Joe Morgan and Gary Woods, plus a single by Luis Pujols, accounted for the Astros' scoring in a 3-2 victory over the Giants. Rafael Landestoy singled in the third inning, moved up on a sacrifice and scored on Morgan's two-bagger. Then in the fourth, Cesar Cedeno and Art Howe both singled. Cedeno scored on Woods' ground-rule double and Howe came home on Pujols' single. [The Sporting News] |
