Bregman delivers big hit in 8th as surging Astros rally from 5 runs down to beat Mets

NEW YORK — Alex Bregman put Houston ahead with a two-run single in the eighth inning, and the surging Astros rallied from five runs down to beat the New York Mets 9-6 on Saturday.

"It did not start the way we want it to. But again, our guys just persevere and we stay in the game," manager Joe Espada said. "It's a great team win. The bullpen — phenomenal job."

Jake Meyers homered early and Jeremy Peña began Houston's biggest comeback of the season with a two-run double off starter Tylor Megill in the fourth that was followed by Jon Singleton's RBI single.
