Clark hits a double to right field. Kingery scores to tie the game. Rick Parker tries to score for the win and he is....OUT! Glenn Wilson's throw in to Alex Trevino is in time and Parker can't avoid the tag.
The Astros would score one in the top of the 10th to take a 4-3 lead, only to see the Giants rally for two in the bottom of the 10th to win 5-4.
