Soto Returns, Mets Crush Astros | Houston Astros News

Pitcher Nolan McLean dominated with seven strong innings, striking out four and keeping the Astros’ early leadoff threat in check. Jared Young blasted a two-run triple and finished with a career-high three RBIs, while Francisco Alvarez added a two-run double in the eighth. Cristian Javier took the loss for Houston.
