Brown Shuts Down Mets, Astros Win | Houston Astros News

Hunter Brown dominated on the mound for the Astros, pitching into the seventh and striking out 14 Mets batters en route to a 3-1 win that lifted Houston above the .500 mark and extended their AL West lead. With the offense grinding out just four hits, Daulton Varsho’s clutch two-run single and Yainer Diaz’s RBI single in the sixth proved decisive. Brown’s season-high 10 strikeouts and one walk marked his first six-inning start in 14 games, giving the bullpen much-needed rest. Bryan Abreu and Josh Hader closed it out, with Hader remaining perfect in save chances. The Astros now sit at 68-67, building momentum on a three-win road trip through New York after a series win over the Yankees.
