The Milwaukee Brewers dominated the New York Mets with an 8-1 victory on Wednesday evening, showcasing offensive strength despite a significant early setback. Brice Turang provided crucial run support with a three-run home run, while David Hamilton, Sal Frelick, Garrett Mitchell, and Christian Yelich each contributed run-scoring singles to power the Brewers’ attack.
Milwaukee’s starter Dustin May encountered an unfortunate situation early in the contest, exiting after throwing just a single pitch when a 106 mph line drive from Mets leadoff batter A.J. Ewing struck his right shoulder blade, resulting in a bruised scapula. May became the first major league pitcher to depart following one pitch since Pablo López in 2021. Reliever Robert Gasser stepped in to stabilize the situation, delivering a strong performance across 5⅓ innings with minimal damage to secure the victory.
The Brewers improved to 82-50 with the win, clinching their sixth consecutive winning season and ninth in the last decade. Mets pitcher Robert Stock struggled significantly, allowing seven runs and ten hits over four innings. New York managed just one run, scored on an RBI single by Francisco Alvarez.
Both teams will return Thursday for the series finale, with Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski facing New York’s Sean Manaea on the mound.
