Astros down Giants in extras

Published November 20, 2014

Matt Downs drove in the game-winning run 3, to earn a four- game series split.

Mark Melancon blew a chance to finish off the win in the bottom of the 10th, and rookie David Carpenter plunked the leadoff hitter in the 11th before retiring three straight to earn his first career save.

Aubrey Huff went 2-for-4 and drove in a run for the Giants, who were trying to win three straight for the first time since July 17-19.

San Francisco fell four games behind NL West-leading Arizona.
