Astros 4, Giants 3: Springer Celebrates Return To Lineup With Game Winning Homer

Team comes from behind thanks to powerful bats and solid bullpen work

The Astros came into tonight's game trying to split this short two-game series with the Giants.  More importantly, they needed to get the bats going.  The team has been in a bit of a collective batting slump as most around these parts have noticed.  In the previous two games they have collected a total of 3 hits and 2 runs.  It did feel good tonight to get George Springer and Brett Oberholtzer back in the starting lineup after their stays on the DL.
