The Houston Astros achieved a significant milestone by surpassing a .500 record for the first time this season with a 10-5 victory over the New York Mets in 11 innings. This win marked their ninth victory in the last ten games and secured the series 2-1. The Astros' record now stands at 42-41, placing them 3.5 games behind the Seattle Mariners in the AL West. The game was notable for a three-hour rain delay and the performance of Tayler Scott, who secured the win, while Matt Festa took the loss. The Mets, now with a 40-41 record, are one game under .500 and have lost two consecutive games. The Astros also boasted the best record in MLB for June, going 17-8. Halfway through the season, the Mets will next play on Monday against the Washington Nationals.
