The Mets dropped their second straight game in which they only scored one run, losing to the Astros 5-1 tonight at Clover Park.
- Brandon Sproat started for the Mets, and looked relatively solid across two plus innings of work. Sproat was charged with two earned runs after leaving the game in the top of the third. The runs came courtesy of line drive off the bat of Cam Smith that Mark Vientos couldn’t snag which deflected into right field, scoring two runners (including old friend Luis Guillorme).
- Edwin DÃaz looked less than great in his one-third of an inning. Chas McCormick walked, stole two bases, and scored on a Brendan Rogers double. Rogers then scored on the next play, putting the Astros up 4-1.
- Génesis Cabrera also gave up a run in the fifth when Quincy Hamilton drove in Jon Singleton to score Houston’s final run of the night.
- The lone Mets run came in the bottom of the fourth when Francisco Lindor singled to left, scoring Jeff McNeil.
