Four in a row

The Giants keep their win streak alive with a sweep of the Astros in Houston. They tagged Framber Valdez with a couple of homers early in the game and held on to win. Valdez is an extreme ground ball pitcher and does not give up many dingers but Wilmer Flores took him deep in the 1st and Luis Matos launched one in the 2nd. That's the fourth for Flo and the first for Matos who started in place of Jung Hoo Lee. Heliot Ramos' two-run double made it 5-0 after two. Valdez lasted five frames, walking four and whiffing nine.
