New York MetsvsMilwaukee Brewers
NYM 3/MIL 8
Things to say
The Milwaukee Brewers beat the New York Mets 8-3 at American Family Field.
01
opener
Brewers took it 8-3, wasn't really close. Milwaukee jumped on them early and never looked back. Mets just didn't have an answer.
02
key player
Heart of that Milwaukee order was cooking all night. Eight runs doesn't happen without the middle of the lineup leaving the yard.
03
hot take
Sixty-three and thirty-seven is no fluke. Milwaukee's the best team nobody outside Wisconsin is talking about.
04
deep cut
Mets are down at 42-59 now. When you're that far under .500 in July, you go to the pen too early and it snowballs like this.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Brewers keep it rolling in the next one. Getaway day should be fun.
The recap
Milwaukee handled business at home and never let this one get close, rolling the Mets 8-3 to push to 63-37 and keep the best record in the league humming. New York, sitting at 42-59, just didn't have the arms to keep pace once Milwaukee's bats got into their stuff and started stacking runs.
The heart of the order did the damage while the Mets left the yard chasing the game the rest of the way. Getaway day in Milwaukee, and the Brewers sent everybody home happy.
