The San Francisco Giants blew a four run lead in the eighth and ninth inning as the Houston Astros came back to win 8-7.  The Giants gave up three home runs in the final two innings in the game as they lost a disappointing finale to the series.

Vinnie Chulk gave up the home run to Lance Berkman in the ninth inning to take the loss.  He is now 0-2 on the season.  Tyler Walker was the relief pitcher that had the most trouble though as he gave up three runs in only 2/3 of an inning.  Terrible job by the Giants bullpen today.

Tim Lincecum pitched six inning and allowed five hits and three runs to get the no decision in the game.

John Bowker led the Giants with three rbi while Aaron Rowand had two rbi.  Randy Winn had an rbi for the Giants as well in the game.

The Giants will now play the Chicago White Sox in a weekend interleague series.  Giants Blog
