Mets Morning News: Rhys Hoskins’ revenge and Edwin Díaz’s return

The Mets fell to the Brewers 7-6 as a late-inning comeback was too little, too late to get the Mets out of the hole Luis Severino put them in. Severino gave up a dozen hits and six earned runs in five innings of work in his Mets debut. Adam Ottavino was responsible for the Brewers’ seventh run, which put the Mets down five in the eighth. However, Edwin Díaz still made a triumphant return in the ninth despite the deficit, pitching a scoreless frame. The Mets hit three home runs—a solo shot by Francisco Alvarez in the second, a pinch hit three-run bomb by Brett Baty in the eighth that made the game interesting, and a solo homer by Pete Alonso in the ninth that brought the Mets within a run.
