Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Nelson Figueroa threw the first shutout of his career to help the New York Mets to a 4-0 win over the Houston Astros in the last game of the season for both teams. Aldon Smith Jersey . Figueroa (3-8), who had dropped his past five starts, gave up just four hits and struck out seven for the Mets (70-92), who closed a disappointing 2009 campaign with a three-game sweep of the Astros. Josh Thole went 3-for-4 with an RBI while Angel Pagan was 4-for-4 with two doubles and a triple. "We got the sweep and I had the best game of my career," said Figueroa. "I battled and was able to throw some good innings today. With all the injuries we had this year, I tried to make the most of the opportunities I had. It was a long season and we had a lot of injuries. Were tired and beat up, it was a very draining season physically and emotionally." Miguel Tejada doubled to extend his hitting streak to 21 games for the Astros (74-88), who dropped five of their final six games. Wilton Lopez (0-2) took the loss for giving up four runs -- three earned -- on six hits with two walks and a strikeout over five innings. "Its not the way we wanted to end the season," said Tejada. "We have some work to do here and I have some work to do in the offseason. I was just trying to enjoy it as much as I could. I was happy with the year I had and now I can go back home and be with my family." The Mets got on the board in the third as Pagan hit a one-out triple and Luis Castillo followed with a sacrifice fly for a 1-0 lead. Tejada hit a leadoff double in the fourth and moved to third on a groundout by Lance Berkman, but Carlos Lee lined out and Hunter Pence struck out. New York padded its lead in the fourth on an RBI single from Thole and a run- scoring fielders choice from Anderson Hernandez for a 3-0 lead. David Wrights sacrifice fly in the fifth scored Pagan, who doubled and moved to third on Castillos groundout, for a 4-0 advantage. Figueroa threw perfect sixth, seventh and eighth innings, then worked around a two-out single by Berkman in the ninth to close the season.
