The Mets started this series against the Brewers by getting blown out in two straight games. The best we can say about this game is that they were at least competitive, unlike the first two. And yet, it wasn’t enough to avoid an embarrassing sweep, as Garrett Mitchell hit a walk-off homer in the ninth to defeat the Amazins 7-6.
The Mets came into this game without having scored a single run in the entire series, and they faced a daunting task of ending that offensive futility against ace Corbin Burnes. However, they managed to quickly end the scoreless streak in the first inning, as Starling Marte got on-base on a hit-by-pitch and, following a stolen base, was driven in by a Francisco Lindor double to left field to finally get the Mets on the board and give them a 1-0 lead.
