Astros Edge Mets, 5-4, to Open DS
New York designated hitter Brandon Moss pounded Houston Astros pitchers at Citi Field, but it was not enough to keep the Mets from falling, 5-4, in Game 1 of the Divisional Series. Moss was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once, though he couldn't keep the Mets from slipping to a 1-0 deficit in the best-of-5 series.

Chris Iannetta came through with a big-time hit for Houston. The catcher smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We're happy," Iannetta told reporters after the win. "When you're in the playoffs, you've got to treat every game like it could be your last."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Citi Field in New York.
