Giants Roll to 8-3 Win Over Astros
San Francisco Giants starter Paul Edmondson was in a groove as he led his team to a win over the Houston Astros, 8-3. Edmondson picked up the win for San Francisco, going 7.2 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 8 hits. He now sports a record of 2-1. The Astros fall to 5-8 and continue their lackluster start to the 1966 season.

San Francisco used a timely hit from Matty Alou to get the win. The right fielder stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Giants ahead, 6-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"We'll put that win in the can," said Alou, "and go after the next one."
