Only one Brewer reached base in the first six innings against deGrom, who surrendered four hits while pitching at least seven innings for the seventh straight start. He did not walk a batter and struck out seven.
Michael Cuddyer and Wilmer Flores connected for consecutive two-out hits in the sixth inning against Brewers reliever Michael Blazek to give deGrom and the Mets a lead. Blazek was scored upon for only the seventh time in 30 appearances while working in relief of rookie starter Taylor Jungmann, who needed 91 pitches for five scoreless innings.
