New York MetsvsMilwaukee Brewers
NYM 4/MIL 0
Things to say
The Mets beat the Brewers 4-0 on the road at American Family Field.
01
opener
Mets went into Milwaukee and shut 'em out, 4-0. Brewers are the best team in the league and New York just walked in and quieted their bats. On a getaway day too.
02
key player
Whoever the Mets ran out there was filthy — a road shutout against the heart of that Brewers order is no joke. Got into his stuff early and never gave it back.
03
hot take
I don't care that Milwaukee's 63-38, a bat that goes 0 for the day at home is a bad look. That lineup got completely stifled.
04
deep cut
Mets are 43-59 and just took it to the class of the league. That's the kind of spoiler game nobody circles on the calendar.
05
exit
Anyway, Brewers'll be fine — long season. Curious if the Mets can carry any of that into the next series.
The recap
The Mets went into Milwaukee and slammed the door on the best team in the National League, blanking the Brewers 4-0 on a getaway day. New York's staff was the story here, keeping the heart of the Milwaukee order off balance all afternoon and never letting a runner sniff home.
For a club sitting way under .500, stealing a shutout from a 63-win juggernaut is the kind of win you circle. The Brewers just never got anything going against arms that clearly got into their stuff.
