Abbie Mastracco NY Daily News: "The Milwaukee Brewers clinched a winning record with the win over the Mets, hitting right-hander Robert Stock early. Stock gave up four earned runs in the top of the second, getting hit for seven over four innings. The Brewers (82-51) patiently took single after single off Stock (0-3). Of the 10 hits he allowed, nine were singles, and one was a three-run homer to Brice Turang."


Mark Rosenman Kiner's Korner: "Robert Stock made his fifth start of the season and has logged 20 ⅔ innings his ERA took a dramatic rise from 5.40 ERA to 7.40 after giving up 7 earned runs over a very rocky 4 innings of work. Stocks 4 innings included the Brewers tagging him for six consecutive singles in the second inning, its first such inning since 1998, according to MLB."


AP Sports: "Brice Turang hit a three-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the New York Mets 8-1 on Wednesday night, overcoming an injury to starter Dustin May after one pitch. May left in the first inning with a bruised right scapula when a 106 mph line drive off the bat of leadoff hitter A.J. Ewing ricocheted off his right shoulder blade. The right-hander was replaced by lefty Robert Gasser (4-5), who earned the win by tossing 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball."


From the Brewers 8 Mets 1 Post Game Notes - 8/26/2026

Mets: Fell to the Brewers, 8-1, in the second game of their three-game series...Were their most run allowed in a home game since they surrendered 16 to Kansas City on July 7...Despite the loss, are still 13-7 (.650) over their last 20 games since August 4, the third-best mark in the majors during that span.


A.J. Ewing (1-4, 2 SB): Picked up his 20th and 21st stolen bases in the third...His 21 stolen bases lead all Major League rookies and are tied with Gregg Jefferies (1989) for the third-most by a rookie in franchise history...Is one stolen base shy of tying Lee Mazzilli (1977) for second-most and three stolen bases shy of tying Mookie Wilson's franchise rookie record set in 1981...Was his third career game with multiple stolen bases (also: 6/5 at SD and 7/29 vs. ATL)...Joins Darryl Strawberry as the only rookies in franchise history to swipe multiple bags in a game on three separate occasions.


Francisco Alvarez (1-4, RBI): Put the Mets on the board with an RBI single in the fourth...18 of his 31 RBI this season have come at home.


Robert Stock (4.0 IP, 10 H, 7 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, HR): Allowed seven runs over 4.0 innings in his fifth start of the season...His 10 hits allowed were a career high (previous high: 9, 8/8 at PIT), while his seven runs allowed were one shy of his career high (most: 8, 8/8 at PIT).


Jefry Yan (2.0 IP, BB, 2 K): Fired 2.0 scoreless innings in relief...Was his first multi-inning appearance of his career...Is unscored upon in seven of his nine career outings.


Bo Bichette (0-1, BB): Was removed from tonight's game with a left foot contusion. In the Post game Interview that you can here below Manager Andy Green said that the X-Rays are "negative" and "We’ll see where he’s at when he wakes up in the morning. You never really know how it is until the next day, but we’re hoping he’s fine."

Today in Mets History: 

Born on this date:

Transactions:

New York Mets signed free agent Jerry Koosman on August 27, 1964.

New York Mets traded David Cone to the Toronto Blue Jays for Jeff Kent and Ryan Thompson on August 27, 1992.

New York Mets traded Dan Wheeler to the Houston Astros for Adam Seuss on August 27, 2004.


1974
At Shea Stadium, Benny Ayala becomes the first National Leaguer in 13 years to hit a home run in his first major league at-bat. The Mets rookie goes deep off Astros' hurler Tom Griffin in New York's 4-2 win.
1986
With one out in the bottom of the eleventh inning and the visiting Mets ahead of the Padres, 6-5, Lenny Dykstra's throw nails Gary Templeton at the plate when he tries to score from second base on Tim Flannery's single to center field. Knocked on his back by the runner, catcher John Gibbons, from a prone position, throws a strike to Howard Johnson, who tags out Flannery, trying to get to third base, to end the game with an unusual 8-2-5 double play.



2013
Marlon Byrd is traded by the Mets, along with John Buck and cash, to the Pirates for a player to be named later (Vic Black) and minor leaguer Dilson Herrera. Although the outfielder is no longer on the roster, the team follows through on its planned promotion, giving away Marlon Byrd T-shirts before tonight's game.

Baseball Reference:

1969New York's 4 - 1 win at San Diego, its 74th of the year, sets a club record; Chicago loses for the 7th time in the last eight games, a 6 - 3 loss to the Reds' Tony CloningerKen Holtzman is the loser. Chicago is now just two games ahead of the Amazing Mets.
