Brewers Dominate Mets 8‑3 as Peralta Struggles

Early Offensive Sparks

The Brewers jumped out to an early lead behind a rash of hits in the opening frames. Bo Bichette’s infield single broke Jacob Misiorowski’s bat, ending any chance of a no‑hitter for the righty. Francisco Lindor added a single and Jorge Polanco was waved off on strikes as the Mets could not sustain the rally. By the time Andrew Vaughn flied out to close the inning, Freddy Peralta had already thrown 24 pitches and the Brewers led 2‑0.

Misiorowski’s Late Exit

Jackson Chourio drew a walk and Brice Turang drove in an RBI double, extending Milwaukee’s cushion. After Peralta struck out William Contreras, Garrett Mitchell plated another run with a single to right field. The visitors could not answer, and Misiorowski was pulled after the fourth inning as the Brewers built a comfortable buffer.

Power Surge in the Fifth

With Craig Yoho taking over for Misiorowski, the Brewers offense exploded. A three‑run homer from Joey Ortiz capped a bruising inning and gave Milwaukee a 5‑1 advantage. The Mets rallied briefly in the eighth, scoring three runs on a walk by Juan Soto, a double from Bo Bichette and an RBI single from Jorge Polanco. Xzavion Curry locked down the final outs for the win.
