Hero 

The Mets designated hitters. It was a balanced, pass-the-baton attack, but Jesse Winker and J.D. Martinez combined for four of the Mets’ eight RBIs.

The Brewers southpaw, who pitched to a 2.86 ERA in the regular season, faced five Mets hitters in their five-run fifth and retired none. 

Unsung hero 

Jose Butto was overpowering for two perfect innings, recording six outs that were crucial with the Mets bullpen in tatters following Monday’s doubleheader.

Key stat 

5-for-7: Mets hitting with runners in scoring position.

They connected for just seven hits in total and did not hit a home run, but nearly all of their hits were timely.

“We’re not satisfied. We know the potential that we have in that clubhouse, and we want to go out there, and we’re going to fight. We’re going to fight until the end, and hopefully that end is going to be hopefully win the World Series.”
