Mets send former teammate packing with a loss. Win first series in three weeks

When former Met Jose Quintana started for the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, he wasn’t exactly welcomed.

Quintana was sent home a loser by New York the day after the Met honored him with a commemorative video, expressing gratitude for his efforts throughout two seasons in orange and blue.

It was left fielder Brandon Nimmo who opened the scoring in Thursday’s 3-2 victory over the Brewers. Before attacking, Nimmo didn’t need to see much of his former teammate.

In the second inning, he promptly put the Mets ahead 1-0 with a first-pitch fastball into the fence in right field, his second home run in two games.

The Brewers then turned to the bullpen in the sixth inning after giving up three straight hits, all singles, and letting two more runs score.

David Peterson, the starter for the Mets, had a great effort on Thursday after letting five runs in each of his previous two clunkers. He gave the bullpen a lead after giving up two runs (one earned) in 6 2/3 innings.

After the game, Peterson held his son and remarked, “We worked on some things this week, and I was able to get kind of back online with my mechanics.” After the changes, I felt as though I was seeing what I needed to see and going down through the ball nicely.

The right-handerAfter that, Ryne Stanek pitched a solid 1 1/3 innings, striking out three batters and not allowing a base runner.

Stanek has gone six games without giving up a run. Batters are in action.They have struck out 11 times in six innings while taking 143 off him.

“I was impressed by four outs on consecutive days,” remarked Mets manager Carlos Mendoza.

The next was closer.Edwin D. Az, whose trumpets energized the 42,241-person sold-out audience for a second consecutive victory. Luis Torrens, the catcher, saved D az from danger by catching a runner attempting to steal second for the second out. This was his 18th save of the season, two less than he recorded the previous season.

The Mets defeated the Brewers and won a series for the first time since they swept the Washington Nationals three weeks earlier on June 10–12.

Mendoza stated, “It’s a good series win, especially against a team that will be right there at the end.” Realizing that we have a duty to go out there and win a baseball game, even though it has been a difficult stretch. I believed the boys remained locked in, regardless of what had happened or what is ahead.

This weekend, the Mets will play the Yankees in a rematch of the Subway Series at Citi Field.
