Overview

  • Juan Soto led off with his 27th homer and Starling Marte added a solo shot in the second, but the Mets failed to build on their early 2-0 advantage.
  • Kodai Senga was pulled after 4 1/3 innings following a two-run homer and two walks in the fifth, extending New York’s season-long trend of abbreviated starts.
  • Brice Turang’s fifth-inning two-run blast and a bases-loaded hit by pitch from Brooks Raley turned a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 Brewers lead.
  • In the ninth inning, Blake Perkins’ one-hop throw from center field caught Marte at the plate on Jeff McNeil’s single to preserve Milwaukee’s win.
  • New York has dropped nine of ten games, falling to 63-53 and three games behind the Phillies in the NL East as Milwaukee climbed to 71-44 with its seventh straight victory.
