| With a two-run homer by Cesar Cedeno accounting for the scoring, the Astros defeated the Giants, 2-0, behind the combined three-hit pitching of Mark Lemongello and Joe Sambito. Cedeno's homer off Bob Knepper followed a single by Enos Cabell in the sixth inning. Lemongello was hit on the right hand by a pitched ball in the seventh and left the game. [The Sporting News] |
