The Mets’ bullpen, which had been a strength post-All-Star break, faltered in a 6-3 loss to the Astros, marking their fourth defeat in five games. Rookie Zac Thornton pitched well, allowing two earned runs over five innings, but errors from Jefry Yan and Jared Young contributed to the loss. Jonathan Pintaro gave up a two-run homer to LaMonte Wade Jr. that shifted the game’s momentum. Despite early home runs from Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, the Mets’ offense collapsed afterward, managing only two hits through the remainder of the game.
