Wade's Pinch-Hit Homer Helps First-Place Astros Power Past Mets 6-3

On Sunday in New York, pinch-hitter LaMonte Wade Jr. hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning, lifting the Houston Astros to a 6-3 victory over the New York Mets.
Both teams opened with explosive power as Jeremy Pena launched a leadoff homer estimated at 435 feet before Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto answered with back-to-back homers for New York.
Mets starter Zac Thornton held a 3-2 lead through five innings before Starter Ethan Pecko earned his first major league win, while Luis Torrens briefly gave New York the edge in the fifth.
Houston added two insurance runs in the seventh when Isaac Paredes scored on a groundout and Jose Altuve scored on an error, while Josh Hader earned his 21st save with a one-hit ninth.
The Astros maintained a two-game lead over Texas in the American League West, while the Mets prepare to face the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday.
