HOUSTON, May 1 (UPI) -- Jed Lowrie drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning Monday, boosting the Houston Astros to a 4-3 decision over the New York Mets.

Fernando Rodriguez (1-3) earned the victory after getting the final out in the eighth and Brett Myers notched his fifth save for Houston, which claimed the opener of a three-run set at Minute Maid Park.
Matt Downs smacked a two-run homer for the Astros.
New York starter R.A. Dickey allowed three runs on three hits over six innings.
