Braun's back tested right away in return to lineup
Making his return to the lineup after lower-back stiffness, Ryan Braun singles to center field in the 8th in his fourth plate appearanceNEW YORK -- Ryan Braun's troublesome back, which had held him out of the Brewers' lineup for six of the previous seven games, was tested early on Sunday.
In the second inning, Mets first baseman Eric Campbell turned on a 91-mph four-seam fastball from Milwaukee starter Chase Anderson and lined it into left field, but Braun was there to flag it down.
Two innings later, however, Yoenis Cespedes took a two-seam fastball and blooped it into shallow left field, and a pivotal sequence in the Brewers' 3-1 loss to the Mets was underway.
