The Mets have gone 18-6 since May 30 — the day after players held a team meeting following a 10-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers — to improve to 40-39. It is the fourth time in team history New York has climbed over .500 after being at least 11 games under the break-even mark. “I think we’re just in a good place,” McNeil said. “We’re playing solid baseball This team’s good. This team can do some pretty special things. Back over .500, which is huge.” Alonso snapped a 2-2 tie with a one-out homer off Astros starter Ronel Blanco (8-3) — his first round-tripper since June 19 and only his third since June 5. McNeil capped the outburst by ending an even longer power drought with a 346-foot, three-run homer just beyond the right field fence. The second baseman was 12 for 83 (.145) since his previous homer against Cleveland on May 22. “I thought it was going down in the corner,” McNeil said with a grin. “I knew it was extra bases for sure. No better feeling once that ball got in the first row.” McNeil finished 3 for 4 in his first three-hit game since May 7. The 2022 major league batting champion is hitting just .221 this season, which ranks 125th out of 144 qualified batters through late Friday night. “My year’s not where I want it to be and it’s going to be very hard to save,” McNeil said. “But what I can do right now is show up everyday at the ballpark, play well, be that .300 hitter I can be from here on out and lead this team to, hopefully, the playoffs.” Tyrone Taylor homered, Francisco Lindor had a run-scoring double and Francisco Alvarez added a sacrifice fly. Jose Quintana surrendered two runs in four-plus innings before a quartet of relievers combined for five scoreless frames for the Mets, who have three bullpen members on the injured list and will be without Edwin Díaz until July 6 due to a 10-game suspension for using an illegal substance. Dedniel Nuñez (2-0) allowed three hits in two innings of relief to get the win. “We’ve been saying that guys are going to have to step up and they did that today — especially on an night where it was a battle for Quintana,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. Jose Altuve hit his 39th career leadoff homer for the Astros, who had their seven-game winning streak snapped and fell to 40-41 in their attempt to move over .500 for the first time this season. Houston had just five hits in 26 plate appearances with runners on base. “We had opportunities to score a lot of runs and we’ve been doing that very well the last couple weeks, getting big hits with runners in scoring position,” Astros manager Joe Espada said. “That wasn’t the case today, but we’ll turn the page and be ready to play tomorrow.” Jeremy Peña had an RBI single in the third, half an inning after he misplayed a pop-up while conducting an in-game broadcast interview. Yordan Alvarez had three hits and a walk in five plate appearances. Blanco gave up six runs (three earned) in 5 2/3 innings. Espada was ejected after Jake Meyers struck out looking in the seventh. “I thought the strike zone was a little bit too big,” Espada said. SING HIM AWAY Following the game, infielder Jose Iglesias performed his walk-up song “OMG,” which he released earlier Friday under the stage name Candelita. The Mets gathered on the field to watch Iglesias before surrounding him and dancing near second base at the end of the song. “The scenario was perfect,” said Iglesias, who said he wouldn’t have performed the song if the Mets lost. “The fans enjoyed it. The team enjoyed it. Great ‘W’ for the team. It was just a special night overall.” Mendoza and Mets players wore “OMG” shirts before and after the game. The song has become the team’s victory anthem and is played whenever a New York player homers at Citi Field. “I love it,” Mendoza said before the game. “He’s got a pretty good rhythm to it. It’s a good day for him and for all of us here.” TRAINER’S ROOM Astros: RHP Luis Garcia (Tommy John surgery) began a rehab assignment Friday and needed just 12 pitches to toss a perfect inning for the rookie-level Florida Complex League Astros. Garcia, who underwent surgery on May 19, 2023, struck out two. ... OF Kyle Tucker (left shin) took 35 swings in the cage Friday. Tucker hasn’t played since fouling a ball off his shin June 3. Mets: RHP Drew Smith (right elbow sprain) believes he’ll need either Tommy John surgery or an internal brace procedure after an MRI “showed some pretty significant damage.” Smith, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2019, began feeling stiffness in his elbow during an appearance June 26 and had trouble getting loose Sunday night, when he got two ninth-inning outs against the Cubs before being pulled. ... RHP Kodai Senga (right shoulder) is slated to throw a bullpen session Sunday before beginning a rehab assignment next week. UP NEXT Mets RHP Tylor Megill (2-4, 4.81 ERA) opposes Astros LHP Framber Valdez (6-5, 3.68 ERA) on Saturday. ------ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb F3b8ac86b3f630da6ac0f61e4d8827f5 B640405213caf81d4f6f4aa705d88d64 A563061b8ecdf2bdbf85edc74a8c5d2a 63223775956a28a774c065 68443vr 1200 1475768993 1479220322 ?1487334205 85fc87e87128ccc7fef7819f4ff8e4f3 1c1316f9a174e0d1570faef75a62c304 3133 Final 56953577246fcf6c049293 B52d72d3072f62b8290478469d6da15e Db874ad99355978b319ff73590cc7892 8077402e79c40c462f729c8037f2ff3f 38695bb4a9d2f781593d9850c8dc842a 7e79c3bcae85bf9269299b4c668c48ab Modern House Design Building Single Story Facades Australia Clic Exterior Ideas Explore And More Contemporary Home Makeover App Interior Stone Designs Remodel Before 1024x680 D29d0b85bc7c7b589896092717a8e514 20c58133f5eec2c179423fdbdaa2ee88 6c344def2f21b964568cdc23909fe985 9e1e9a411eeabe27f74d2bcd188f81fb E2ccff00cc4dcf4fa00420804c5ab432 15d1d1413e388d52b173425aff9212c7 59d6f38e3e68e67367c6baeb0f6eb317 769988f0aebd79f4c083935268a35a02 48c536e6cf9c1651612f7453e21435d4 B0864646da68c4a570110a710c8cad42 7c567d723cbaffcda218b27bf8aa0fa9 Ddbe1568619fdcc5ef334876a1d35d5d 1a41716c33d85d3289d4d3d9b8df637f 48a68f7cd47b850482e341944523cd5f 8d079ebb118622bc39524aa1a234529d A7d9b300fd97e9bc2796aecfc7b7db76 13c294c8b9ee034e628805af98599ace Fb74c64ba8a146ff79cade5109b4c31f
