Brewers rally for huge 5-3 win over Mets in NL Wild Card Series, force game three on Thursday

Box Score

The Milwaukee Brewers fought their way back from an early deficit to take down the Mets in a potential elimination game at American Family Field on Wednesday night, as rookie phenom Jackson Chourio slugged a pair of homers and Garrett Mitchell hit the go-ahead homer in the bottom of the eighth.

The game started similar to how most of yesterday went — with the Mets picking up hits off soft contact as they managed to move runners around the basepaths.

Francisco Lindor reached on a walk, Jose Iglesias hit a soft grounder that allowed Milwaukee to nab Lindor at second, and Mark Vientos and Brandon Nimmo followed with back-to-back singles to give New York a 1-0 lead.
