					| Late Rally by Giants Seals 4th Straight Win |  
					| San Francisco and Houston duked it out and the Giants came out victorious. 
 The San Francisco Giants picked up a win at Minute Maid Park, knocking off the Houston Astros, 5-2. On the mound for San Francisco was right-hander Keith Kidd, who played a pivotal role in the win. The second-place Giants have won 4 straight.
 
 San Francisco used a timely hit from Sean Zielinski to get the win. The second baseman stroked a bases-clearing  double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Giants ahead, 5-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.
 
 "We'll hit the hot tub in good spirits tonight," said Zielinski.
