The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the New York Mets 4-1 this afternoon, starting their season in impressive fashion with a sweep on the road. Like Friday, pitching, defense, and aggressive baserunning ruled the day, as the Mets managed just one run on seven scattered hits.
The Brewers’ offense continued its solid start to the season right off the bat in the first inning. Christian Yelich reached on a catcher’s interference call with two outs, stole second base, and scored when Willy Adames smoked a single off of the glove of Mets third baseman Bretty Baty and into left field.
