GAME 2 - 9/9
Randy Jones vs Nolan Ryan
Astros 6, Padres 3
The "Express" struck out 7, threw 138 pitches and went the distance as the Astros doubled up the Friars 6-3. Nolan Ryan notched his first win in a season where run support has been almost non-existent. Randy Jones had another bad outing for SD and was removed in the middle of the 2nd, where the Astros scored 4 runs. After Dickie Thon's RBI single, Jones hit the showers. Clay Kirby came on board and promptly served up a bases clearing double to Craig Biggio to make it 4-1. Houston never looked back.
GAME 3 - 9/10
Eric Show vs Joe Niekro
Padres 13, Astros 4
No sweep for the 'Stros as Joe Niekro, Ken Forsch, JR Richard and Don Wilson all threw BP. SD posted 17 hits in total. Dave Winfield hit his 9th homer in a 4 for 6 day that included 4 RBI's and 3 runs scored. Tony Gwynn's 3 for 6 day culminated in 4 runs scored and 2 RBI. Padre shortstop Garry Templeton, who went 2 for 5, was the only regular not to have an RBI. He did score two runs. Show got the win with 7 solid innings and Hawkins finished out the final 2 frames with the game already out of reach.
