Late big fly lifts Astros over Giants again
Held in check once again by a San Francisco starter, the Astros jumped on the Giants’ bullpen on Tuesday afternoon when Tyler White crushed a two-run homer in the eighth inning off reliever Ray Black to send Houston to a 2-1 win at AT&T Park. That came less than 24 hours after Houston was down to its final out and Marwin Gonzalez cracked a game-winning three-run homer off reliever Will Smith. The Astros had been held scoreless by rookie starter Dereck Rodriguez.
