HOUSTON — Barry Zito pitched three-hit ball over six innings and four relievers finished up the San Francisco Giants' 3-0 victory over the Houston Astros Tuesday night.
Zito (1-0) struck out five before he was replaced by Waldis Joaquin. Joaquin, Dan Runzler, Sergio Romo and closer Brian Wilson combined for one hit in the last three innings. Wilson earned his second save.
Giants newcomer Aubrey Huff had two hits and drove in a run in a game that was scoreless until the sixth.
It was the second tough offensive night for a Houston team playing without star Lance Berkman. The loss followed Monday's 5-2 season-opening defeat, where the Astros were shut out for eight innings.
Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez (0-1) did better than he did this spring when he posted a 12.10 ERA, but took the loss after allowing seven hits and
three runs in six innings. He struck out four and walked four.

Joaquin was replaced by Runzler for the next batter and he retired Geoff Blum to end the inning.
Jeff Keppinger got his second double of the game with one out in the sixth when his fly ball looked to have bounced off the
yellow line on the top of the wall in front of the Crawford Boxes in left field. The umpires reviewed the play, but the ruling on the
field stood.
