HOUSTON (AP) — Mike
Hampton allowed four hits
and struck out eight in eight
innings, leading Houston
over the San Francisco Gi
ants 6-2 Monday night and
stopping the Astros’ three-
game losing streak.
Houston, rebounding from
a 17-2 loss to San Diego on
Sunday, got a strong perfor
mance from Hampton (2-0),
who didn’t allow a runner
past second after the third in
ning and struck out three of
his last four batters.
Todd Jones finished with a
hitless ninth.
William VanLandingham
(0-2) walked six in six innings
for the Giants, allowing four
runs and four hits. He has
nine walks in 9 2-3 innings
over two starts.
Matt Williams’ two-run
double put San Francisco
ahead in the first after Sha-
won Dunston doubled and
Barry Bonds reached on a
throwing error by shortstop
Orlando Miller.
Houston came back in
the fourth. Jeff Bagwell
doubled with one out, and
walks to Derek Bell and
Rick Wilkins loaded the
bases with two outs.
James Mouton, off to an 0-
for-7 start, hit a two-run dou
ble to left that tied the score

errant throw to second base. The Astros beat the Giants, 6-2, Monday.
and Miller followed with a
two-run single to center for a
4-2 lead.
The Astros got two more
runs without a hit in the sev
enth when Mark Dewey
walked Bell with the bases
loaded and Sean Berry’s
groundout to deep shortstop
scored Hunter.
After they committed five
errors in Sunday’s loss, the
Astros had only one against
the Giants and had a pair
of outstanding catches by
Bell in right and Brian
Hunter in center.
The Giants have won two
of their last 11 games in the
Astrodome.

needs to send the message that drug usage will
not be tolerated in any shape or form.
While many players claim drug testing is an
invasion of privacy, when it comes to the good
of the league and what it represents, athletes
should be subjected to what other workers are.
An accountant does not have an offseason.
He/she is subjected to drug testing throughout
the year. Athletes are not special or unique,
they are a part of the same workforce which en
compasses, bankers, lawyers, doctors, construc
tion workers, truckers and others.
There are no special exemptions for truckers,

so why should there be exemptions for athletes.
Just because they have multi-million dollar
contracts and endorsements, does not mean
athletes are allowed to do drugs.
Athletes must realize that the kid who asks
him to sign a ball, paper, or glove is the same
one who dreams to be just like him every night.
While it should be up to the parents to make
sure that their children is guided along the
right path, it is inevitable, that the child is
more likely to listen to the athlete. For a child
an athlete is their parental figure. They emu
late their actions and are mesmerized by their
every word.
When leagues do not punish athletes for
breaking the law, they are sending the message
to kids everywhere, that just because you are
an athlete, there are no repercussions.
Oh, the places you'll go...
