The Houston Astros moved over .500 for the first time this season after beating the New York Mets 10-5 in an 11-inning game, marking their ninth win in 10 games. Jake Meyers hit a crucial tiebreaking single during a five-run 11th inning, while Jose Altuve was ejected after disputing an umpire's call. Brandon Nimmo hit his 100th career homer and later tied the game for the Mets, who have struggled in extra innings, going 3-8 this season. The Mets’ bullpen faltered significantly, particularly in the eighth inning of Saturday's game, contributing to a 9-6 loss despite leading 6-1 early on. Both teams have had fluctuating performances, with the Astros experiencing a significant turnaround in June and the Mets showing historical dominance during a recent winning streak.
