The Houston Astros beat the New York Mets, 9-3, at Shea Stadium. The win was due in part to third baseman Albert Pujols, who went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times. Cole Hamels picked up the win with 6.1 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 7. On the season, he is now 5-2. With the win, Houston raised its record to 20-13.

Houston relied on the hitting of Jason Bartlett to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Astros on top, 5-3. For the game, Bartlett had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Bartlett.
