Joe Niekro went the route on a five-hitter, walking none and striking out nine, to lead the Astros to a 5-2 victory over the Mets. Danny Heep belted a solo homer in the fourth and Houston added three more runs in the fifth on a run-scoring infield single by Ray Knight and two-run single by Phil Garner.
