Game Updates
The Milwaukee Brewers' bullpen stole the show Saturday night, slamming the door on the New York Mets with five scoreless innings to secure a 7-4 comeback victory. After starter Tobias Myers labored through 3.1 innings—allowing three runs on five hits, including homers to Juan Soto and Pete Alonso—the Brewers' relievers took over with dominance. Abner Uribe struck out three in a perfect eighth, while Trevor Megill navigated a tense ninth, stranding Cedric Mullins' two-out single to preserve the win. William Contreras delivered the decisive blow with a two-run homer in the fifth, his clutch hit part of a four-run frame that flipped the script after New York's early power surge.
The Mets' bats flashed power but faltered late, with Soto, Alonso, and Starling Marte each launching solo shots—only for New York's bullpen to unravel. Ryne Stanek and Ryan Helsley combined to surrender four critical runs in the fifth, including Contreras' go-ahead blast. Brice Turang's 2-for-4 night and Andrew Vaughn's continued red-hot hitting (.353 AVG) powered Milwaukee's offense, while the Brewers' late-inning arms ensured the Mets' late rally never materialized. The win keeps Milwaukee's playoff push on track, while the Mets—despite their long-ball threats—now face urgent questions about their bullpen's reliability down the stretch.
