Pete Alonso ripped the tiebreaking, two-run double during a seventh-inning flurry Monday night and the New York Mets went on to beat the visiting Milwaukee Brewers 4-2.
The Mets claimed the opener of a three-game series for their third victory in four games. The Brewers have lost two straight following an 11-game winning streak that was the second-longest run in franchise history.
The Mets got just one hit in the first six innings against Brewers All-Star pitcher Brandon Woodruff (7-4), who needed just 64 pitches to record his first 18 outs. Woodruff opened the game by retiring nine straight, then set down nine consecutive batters following Brandon Nimmo's double leading off the fourth.
