- Your weekend Giants scores in brief: We think Bochy described Friday's game best himself: "I don't know how else to tell you. We were awful." The Giants lost in a Houston blowout. 0-6 Astros. Attempts to rally on Saturday didn't go too far either: The Giants lost their second straight game to the Astros (currently the worst in the Majors). The score was 5-7 Astros. Vogelsong and Bumgarner, respectively, got sacked with those loses.
On Sunday, Texas native Brandon Belt knocked a three-run homer in the second to get the offense moving, while substitute starter Dan Runzler spun his wheels on the mound, giving up four runs. The bullpen held off the Astros for another 9 innings until Pablo slammed a two-run homer in the 11th. Final score: 6-4 Giants.
Finally tally on the three-city roadtrip: 4-6 and only 1.5 games back on the Diamondbacks. Bochy again: "I guess the best way I can put it is, we survived."
