Though the Brewers are assured of their position in the postseason, they can still play a role in who they’ll end up facing in the wild card round. Their opponent in the regular season’s last series, the New York Mets, are one of three teams that Milwaukee could possibly play next week, making this an intriguing matchup. Adding to the intrigue tonight was a faceoff between former Oakland teammates Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea, who were the one-two punch in the Athletics’ starting rotation in 2021. But an old Mets' villain put the Brewers up early in this one, and a series of tack-on runs kept New York at arm’s length.
