NEW YORK (AP) Pete Alonso broke a seventh-inning tie with a two-run double off All-Star Brandon Woodruff, and the New York Mets beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on Monday night in a matchup of National League division leaders.
159 If the Braves’ epic ninth-inning comeback Sunday against the Marlins, capped by pitcher Max Fried’s walk-off hit in the 10th inning, was the stuff of dreams, as Fried said it was, then Monday’s road-trip opener at Pittsburgh was like a recurring nightmare for the Braves.
Facing the lowly Pirates to start a three-game series that the Braves and their fans hoped would finally be the springboard to get them over .500, Fried and his teammates instead stumbled badly in an 11-1 loss to a last-place team that came in 23 games under .500 and 20 games back in the NL Central.
