Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Astros fans, but no team gets to go to the playoffs every year.
And after this the Astros’ fifth straight home loss, an 11-2 drubbing by the Mets, it’s getting harder and harder to visualize the Astros playing in the post-season this year.
It was the first Mets win in Minute Maid Park since 2012.
The game started promisingly. Astros Starter Hunter Brown sliced through the first six Mets batters he faced. But in the third inning, the Brown alter-ego we have seen from time to time this year started throwing meatballs, and the Mets didn’t miss.
