Vizcaino, 34, began Friday with a .290 average, one homer and 17 RBIs. He hit .277 last season with one homer and 14 RBIs, his first season with the Astros.

Giants add lefty Eyre, send Brohawn to Fresno

San Francisco The San Francisco Giants sent left-handed reliever Troy Brohawn outright to Triple-A Fresno on Friday night to make room for newly acquired Scott Eyre.

Eyre went 2-4 with a 4.97 ERA in 49 appearances for the Blue Jays this season. He held left-handed hitters to a .218 average.
