New York Gets 6-2 Road Win
New York Mets starter Rick Jones hurled his team past the Houston Astros, 6-2. With the win, New York pushed its record to 63-62.

New York used a well-timed hit by Terry Kennedy to capture the win. The catcher socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Mets ahead, 5-1. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"We'll savor this win," Jones told the New York Daily News, "then get ready for the next game."
