Milwaukee BrewersvsNew York Mets
MIL 8/NYM 2
Things to say
The Brewers beat the Mets 8-2 at Citi Field.
01
opener
Brewers rolled 8-2 at Citi Field, wasn't close. Milwaukee's bats got going early and the Mets never answered. Just a rough night all around for New York.
02
key player
Milwaukee's lineup did the damage top to bottom, eight runs and they kept the line moving all night. The heart of the order left the yard and put it away.
03
hot take
Mets are 60-74 for a reason. When you're getting run like that at home in late August, the season's already over, they're just playing it out.
04
deep cut
Brewers are 83-51, quietly one of the best records in the league and nobody's talking about them. That's a real ballclub.
05
exit
Anyway, let's see if the Mets can steal one tomorrow before Milwaukee leaves town.
The recap
Milwaukee rolled into Citi Field and put up a crooked number, taking this one 8-2 behind an offense that never let the Mets breathe. The Brewers got into their stuff early against New York's staff and just kept adding on, tacking runs onto an order that stayed hot top to bottom.
The Mets, sitting at 60-74, never really threatened once they fell behind, and the bullpen couldn't stop the bleeding. Milwaukee's now 83-51 and playing like a team that knows exactly where it's headed.
