The Mets fell to the Astros on Tuesday night, 8-2. Trevor Williams got the start for the Mets and pitched four innings, allowing three runs on two home runs. Chasen Shreve followed Williams in relief and struggled immensely, giving up four runs in one inning of work, putting the game out of reach for the Mets. The lone offense on the night for the Mets came from a pair of solo home runs by Pete Alonso and Eduardo Escobar.
Max Scherzer made a rehab start last night with Double-A Binghamton, throwing 3.1 innings, allowing two runs while striking out six batters.
