The San Francisco Giants lost to the Houston Astrosn 6-3 on Wednesday night as the Giants pitchers couldn’t slow down three Astros batters.  Lance Berkman, Brad Ausmus, and Miguel Tejada all had two rbi against Giants pitchers.  Three different Giants pitchers gave up runs in the game as well.

Patrick Misch tossed six innings of seven hit baseball to start the game.  He did allow three runs including one home run in the game as he got the no decision.  Jack Taschner pitched 2/3 of an inning in relief of Misch and allowed one run to score as he took the loss. Taschner is now 1-2 on the season.  After he left the game, Billy Sadler came in and gave up a two run home run that ended up putting the game out of reach for the Giants.

Aaron Rowand had a two run home run for the Giants in the second inning and then in the third inning, Misch laid down a sacrafice bunt that the Giants threw away that allowed John Bowker to score.

The Giants will try to get a split in the series as they play the Astros Thursday afternoon.
