Giants try to bounce back in Houston Sat Aug 20 11:04:46 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - Being shut out in their last two games, the defending World Series champions are struggling in a big way offensively. The San Francisco Giants will try to break out of their slump tonight when they face Houston rookie Jordan Lyles.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - The San Francisco Giants placed catcher Eli Whiteside on the seven-day disabled list Friday due to a concussion.

Whiteside, thrust into the starting role after Buster Posey's season-ending leg injury, hit .221 with four homers and 16 RBI in 66 games this season. To fill the roster spot, the Giants recalled cat

The Giants began the week with a chance to put some more pressure on the National League West-leading Diamondbac
