Giants Dominate the Astros 7-2
What a game, Giants fans!
Our San Francisco Giants put on a clinic today against the Houston Astros, pulling off a convincing 7-2 win on the road. Let's dive into how it all unfolded. 
Early Momentum for the Giants
After a quiet start for both teams, with neither side scoring in the first inning, the Giants began to find their rhythm in the 2nd. Heliot Ramos reached second after a fielder's choice and stolen base, setting the stage for Wilmer Flores to drive him home with a clutch single to left field. That two-out RBI was crucial in giving us our first run of the game.
Flores Lights Up the Scoreboard
The top of the 5th saw Mike Yastrzemski get things rolling with a single, showcasing some nifty base running to steal second. Tyler Fitzgerald followed with a well-placed bunt, advancing Yastrzemski to third, who was then brought home on LaMonte Wade Jr.'s sacrifice fly. Just like that, Giants up 2-0! But the real explosion came in the 6th inning. After a walk by Jung Hoo Lee and another walk for Patrick Bailey, Wilmer Flores stepped up and smashed a three-run homer!

Ryan Walker preserved the lead by closing out the bottom of the 9th.
