Freddy Peralta Struggles, Mets Scramble but Can’t Recover
Milwaukee Brewers' Freddy Peralta had a tough day returning to the mound against his former team. The Mets offense struggled throughout, unable to mount any comeback following Jacob Misiorowski’s early exit.
Bo Bichette ended any hopes of a no-hitter by Misiorowski in the first inning with an infield single that broke his bat. Jorge Polanco added insult to injury in the second, giving Brewers a quick 2-0 lead.
Mets Offense Falters as Brewers Gain Early Advantage
Peralta’s pitching woes continued in the early innings. Jackson Chourio got walked before Brice Turang hit an RBI double down the left-field line. Garrett Mitchell followed with a single to right for another run, bringing Seattle’s deficit to 5-1 by the third inning.
Mets’ Struggles Continue Despite Late Push
With two runs on the board, Francisco Alvarez and A.J. Ewing managed to score in the fourth but couldn’t match Brewers' fireworks. Joey Ortiz hit a three-run home run after Peralta was pulled, pushing Milwaukee’s lead well beyond Mets’ reach.
