Dominant Performance by McCullers Jr. in New York Win
Lance McCullers Jr. never let the Astros get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his sinker, to pitch the Mets to a win, 2-0. The last-place Mets have a record of 25-35.

McCullers Jr. allowed no runs on 2 hits over 6.2 innings for the Mets. He walked 1 and struck out 9.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," McCullers Jr. told the New York Chronicle.
