The Mets made a now rare visit to their one-time National League expansion-mates Tuesday night, and were rudely greeted in Houston. Astros starter Jose Urquidy looked strong early, allowing the Mets only one hit and one walk over the first three innings.
Trevor Williams was able to match Urquidy for the first two innings before the Houston began launching some rockets off of him in the bottom of the third. With one out, Jose Altuve ripped a line drive into the front row of the Crawford Boxes in left to give the Astros a 1-0 lead.
