Mets 9, Astros 1
NEW YORK — David Wright ended his career-worst hitless drought with a homer and a two-run double and the Mets welcomed Jason Bay back to their lineup by ending a seven-game home skid. Bay hit a ground-rule double and later raced around the bases on a rare four-base error in the eighth. Mike Nickeas hit his first major-league home run, and Ike Davis hit one over the apple in center.
