Hero
Jackson Chourio.
If the Brewers celebrate following this series, the 20-year-old phenom would not be able to legally partake in the champagne drinking.
Chourio drilled two home runs, his second tying the game in the eighth inning.
Zero
Phil Maton.
Pitching for a fourth time in five days, the righty sure looked tired.
Given a one-run edge in the eighth, Maton served up a pair of home runs that put the Mets in a hole they didn’t escape.
Unsung hero
The Brewers bullpen — which had wilted a night earlier, allowing the Mets to break through — strung together 5 ¹/₃ scoreless innings to ensure the Mets did not score after the second inning.
Key stat
0 Extra-base hits from Mets hitters, who did all their damage with singles and help from the Brewers.
Quote of the Day
“It’s win or go go home. I think if anybody can do it, this team can. We’ve done it time and time again.”
