After the Mets and Brewers traded single runs in the 1st inning, the Mets scored two in the 2nd on a Francisco Alvarez RBI single and a Francisco Lindor Sac Fly.  They held the lead until the 8th when the Brewers homered twice against Phil Maton.  Mets only had 3 hits after the 2nd and went 2 for 11 overall with runners in scoring position.


Brian Joura Mets360: The Brewers hit three home runs, two of which came in the eighth inning. The Mets were held homerless for the second straight game. The end result was a 5-3 loss for the Mets Wednesday night in Milwaukee. The series is now tied 1-1, with the rubber game scheduled for 8:30 p.m.


NY Post: Mets blow Game 2 lead to Brewers to set up decisive wild card finale. "This wasn’t all on Maton — the Mets went the last seven innings without scoring. But the right-hander got jumped almost from the moment he entered the game and then the Brewers went for the kill. Garrett Mitchell’s two-run homer with two outs was the crusher, after rookie Jackson Chourio’s blast (his second of the game) leading off the inning had erased the Mets’ 3-2 lead."


Mike Vaccaro NY Post: Carlos Mendoza’s magic touch disappears at worst time for Mets. "Maybe if the Mets had cashed in on several golden opportunities across the first seven innings, they could have built a bigger cushion than the 3-2 advantage they had in the eighth. Maybe if Pete Alonso hadn’t tripped over his bat in the first inning, costing the Mets a run they sure could’ve used later on, things might’ve felt a little different with a two-run difference."


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets, Phil Maton blow late lead to Brewers, setting up winner-take-all Game 3 on Thursday. "Phil Maton’s meltdown Wednesday night doomed them in a 5-3 loss to the Brewers, evening the best-of-three NL Wild Card Series at one win apiece. That sets up a victor-take-all Game 3 at 7:08 p.m. Thursday, still at American Family Field, Mets lefthander Jose Quintana against Brewers righty Tobias Myers. The winner will advance to face the Phillies in the NL Division Series. The loser goes home for the offseason."
