Homer Happy Mets Come From Behind, Beat Astros

The Mets came from four runs down to beat the Astros 6-4.


  • Dillon Gee went just five innings, giving up four runs on five hits, while striking out six and walking four. Gee technically allowed just two runs, but Ryota Igarashi relieved him in the middle of the sixth inning and allowed two inherited runners to score.
  • Jason Bay hit his second home run of the year to put the Mets on the board in the seventh inning. 
  • In the eighth, Fernando Martinez and David Wright each hit two-run homers. Martinez's homer was crushed. It'll be nice to see what he can do if he stays healthy long enough.
  • Jason Pridie has an RBI double in the ninth inning to give the Mets an insurance run.
  • I'd also like to give a shout out to Houston's third base coach, Dave Clark, for essentially ruining his team's night on the base paths. Bad for Houston. Good for the Mets. I'll take it. Keep up the good work, Clark.
Next up: The Mets continue their series with the Astros Saturday in Houston. Game time is 4:05 p.m.
