He lowered his ERA to 4.22.

RHP Adrian Houser came on in the bottom of the eighth and gave up a solo homer to pinch-hitter Jesse Winker in the bottom of the eighth.

The other baserunner came in the top of the second on a walk by D.H. D.J. Stewart.

The Mets next game is tomorrow night, Friday, July 5 at the Pittsburgh Pirates at 6:40 p.m.
