NEW YORK -- The Mets finally went quiet on Saturday night.
After more than a week of nothing but comebacks, clutch pitching and wins, the Mets didn't have any of that and fell to the Brewers 5-1 before 40,965 at Citi Field. The defeat ended a nine-game winning streak that had propelled the Mets to a franchise-best 11-1 start. New York still has the best record in the National League.
Matt Harvey surrendered too much of the long ball -- a three-run homer by Jonathan Villar in the second and a solo shot by Jett Bandy in the fourth -- but all the blame couldn't be left at his feet.
