The New York Mets broke a 1-1 tie by scoring three times in the seventh inning Monday night – on the way to a 4-2 win.
The loss for the Brewers was the second in a row following an 11-game winning streak.
Five Mets pitchers held Milwaukee to a pair of runs on five hits.
Willy Adames had a single and double and Omar Narvaez hit his eighth home run. The Mets touched starter Brandon Woodruff for four runs in six-and-a-third innings, handing him his fourth loss.
The Brewers’ SIX-game lead in the National League Central Division is still the biggest edge held by any team in Major League Baseball.
Brett Anderson starts for Milwaukee tonight (July 6th) as his teammates try to solve New York starter Jacob DeGrom who has a best-in-baseball earned run average of 0.95.
You can hear tonight’s contest on 107.9 FM WOMT starting at 5:35 PM.
Also, the Brewers have placed three pitchers on the National League All-Star for this month’s game and one more could still be chosen.
Voters didn’t put any position players from Milwaukee on the roster, but Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes, and Josh Hader will be there in Colorado.
When the reserves are announced it’s possible catcher Omar Narvaez might hear his name called.
To get a fourth player on the roster, pitcher Freddy Peralta could be Milwaukee’s best shot.
