The Mets lost to the Brewers 8-4 in about as nightmarish of a fashion as you can imagine. Just about everything that could have gone wrong for the Mets went wrong in this game at a time when the entire season hangs in the balance.
It was clear pretty immediately that Sean Manaea did not have his best stuff. Brice Turang—who would go on to torment the Mets all evening—led off the bottom of the first with a single that went over a leaping Francisco Lindor, which was only notable because it was the type of leaping grab we’ve seen a healthy Lindor make many times before.
