Mets down Brew Crew 8-4 to steal Game 1 of WC round

 


Luis Severino didn't have his best stuff, but it was good enough on Tuesday night as the Mets bats knocked around Milwaukee's pitching for eight runs. 


Severino pitched six innings of four-run ball, while the Mets knocked out Freddy Peralta after four innings and three runs allowed. 


Mark Vientos, J. D. Martinez, and Jesse Winker knocked in two RBIs apiece, while Jose Iglesias and Starling Marte drove in one run each. 


The Mets trailed 2-0 heading to the top of the second inning before scoring three runs to grab the lead. 


After falling behind 4-3 headed to the top of the 5th inning, the Mets strung together a slew of two-out RBI hits to score five runs in the frame and grab an 8-4 advantage.


Severino, and the Mets bullpen retired the final 17 Brewers batters to hold on for the win. 


The Mets will send Sean Manaea to the mound on Wednesday night looking for the Wild Card series victory and set up a date in Philadelphia on Saturday night against the Phillies for the NLDS Game 1.
