The San Francisco Giants improved to 5-1 after completing a sweep of the Houston Astros with a 6-3 win. Wilmer Flores shone with key homers, achieving his fourth of the season already, while rookie Landen Roupp struck out a career-high eight batters. The Giants' spring training success has carried into the regular season, where players like Heliot Ramos have also made significant contributions. The team's strong performance suggests solid teamwork and promising individual comebacks, indicating a potential turnaround for the Giants this season.
Entering Friday's home opener, the Giants are 5-1. Buster Posey's group excelled in just about every department during spring training, and they're continuing to do so in games that count.
Flores set the tone for this trip on Opening Day, hitting a go-ahead, three-run homer in the ninth inning to propel San Francisco to its first victory of the year.
The only Giant to keep pace with Flores so far is Heliot Ramos, who continued his own torrid start with a two-run double.
That five-run lead proved invaluable for Roupp, who allowed three runs (two earned) over four-plus innings with a career-high eight strikeouts.
