Jose Quintana and David Peterson both pitched for the Mets in the Brewers’ last game of the season last year, which you’d be forgiven for trying to forget about. Tonight, they faced off against each other with Quintana in the other uniform. Both pitched pretty well, but Peterson was just a little better, and with a couple of Brewers stars (Christian Yelich and Brice Turang) out of the lineup today, Milwaukee couldn’t quite find enough offense.
The Brewers tried to put a two-out rally together in the top of the first, when Jackson Chourio turned an 0-2 count into a six-pitch walk and Rhys Hoskins almost put one in the seats.
