NEW YORK — The first round of boos was directed toward Jose Altuve, a face of the 2017 Astros, the most reviled team in recent baseball history, when he stepped to the plate to begin the game Tuesday night.
But the rest of the rounds were reserved for the Mets.
Their 9-1 pummeling by the Astros featured vocal less-than-rave reviews from the Citi Field crowd for the likes of Chasen Shreve, who gave up two-run homers to two of his four batters, and James McCann, who grounded into an inning-ending double play when the score was still sort of close.
