HOUSTON, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Darin Erstad's sacrifice fly with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning Saturday gave the Houston Astros a come-from-behind 5-4 win over the New York Mets.
Houston battled back from a 4-0 deficit after 2 ½ innings.
A pinch two-run pinch single by Geoff Blum off Mets' closer Billy Wagner one out in the bottom of the ninth created a 4-4 tie. Kaz Matsui and Carlos Lee both had two hits and one RBI for the Astros, winners in five of their last six games.
The winner was closer Jose Valverde (5-3) after a scoreless 10th inning.
