Mets vs. Brewers Game Highlights (7/20/26) | MLB Highlights

The next chapter of the homestand welcomes the New York Mets to Milwaukee for the next three days the Brewers have won three in a row to move into a season high twenty five games over five hundred the Mets find themselves in last place in the National League East. Today we celebrate home run number seven hundred and fifty five by Hank Aaron 50 year anniversary of his final home run an iconic moment for an iconic man. The number 44 is etched into the building here for Jacob Mizorowski who has been arguably the best pitcher on planet Earth this season. It's been 13 days since his last start last time out gave up three extra base hits. So now he has two more extra base hits than quality starts. No walks seven innings pitch 11 strikeouts curveball struck him out looking strikeout number one for Jacob Mizorowski one gone in this opening frame. So now wants Soto will do his best. Soto has faced Mizorowski before he's 0 for one with a walk. Soto strikes out another one at one hundred and four. And Mizorowski lighting up the radar gun early back to back case hit it if he can fastball up in a way not even close to up to down to strikeouts. Here is Bo Bichette now breaks as bad as he was one to third Ortiz with the bear hand has no play. Bichette has an infield hit. Well that bat went down frightened. No no hitter tonight for Mizorowski. Here's Lindor who had the big day yesterday. Three hits two walks on base five times and a double and a home run along the way. And Ligure slashes one the other way past Ortiz on the left field of base and Bichette pulls in its second. So the Betts with back to back two out hits against Mizorowski. That was another cutter. He took it the other way. One little dribbler turns into another turns into a scoring chance. I bring up Jorge Polanco switch hitter batting left and he got it. Just four in the back three K's works around two hits with two outs of the Miz puts up a zero in the first. Emotions are high and you have to wonder what's running through the mind of Freddy Peralta right now who spent his first eight years of his big league career here in Milwaukee. A fan favorite smile on his face. But this year in New York it's been a little bit of a different story. He's been good. He just hasn't lived up to what we're used to seeing walks or walks or walks that have hurt Freddy this year. One on one out. Bryce Durant coming up. There's a base hit. That's going to get down. Porter Terrell is off to the Brewers strike first. He got a curve ball down in the zone over the heart of the plate and right start to pull the ball out a little bit. A good pitch to hit. Freddy left that one up in his own area able to score easily from first base. The Brewers strike first here tonight. Turang's on base streak reaches 18 now 14 RBI is in the 18 games double number twenty four to go along with his 14 homers Contreras is our clean up hitter strike three called inside corner Contreras raises his hand freezes and doesn't touch his helmet. He's going to put that challenge in his pocket and take strike three. Eric Mitchell stands in left hand hitting center fielder best batting average in the majors in the month of July and he shoots one to right field and to score Terang and Garrett Mitchell keeps on. Wow his whole game is on point right now. That's another curve ball same pitch that Terang hit down the line and Mitchell able to drive in Terang with two out Garrett Mitchell RBI number forty eight makes it two to nothing. Here's Vaughn and he's nice one in the shallow right field on his Ewing. And AJ puts it away to retire the side but a poor reception for the homecoming for Alton and Luis Robert is playing in his first game the big leagues since the twenty seventh of April. He had a bad disc in his back and he struck him out with a high fastball of one hundred fourth strikeout for Mizorowski brings up Brett Beatty and down he goes five from Mizorowski of the six outs he has recorded windup and a pitch strike three called clip the outside corner with ninety four. So Bauer sits down on three pitches for Alton's second strikeout. He'll bring up shortstop Cooper Pratt who is the next young solid prospect for the Brewers or at least they believe so strongly in him that they signed him already to an eight year fifty million dollar deal. Picking pitch from Freddy I think all three of the hits he's allowed have been on breaking balls a couple of curves. This is a sweeper and oh one sweeper that ends up getting out of here. Three hundred ninety three feet. That's got to feel so good for Cooper Pratt. They do this. They just couldn't stand it anymore. Could they never forget that moment. Only a select few know the feeling that Cooper Pratt is experiencing right now. Andrew Vaughn commits the error Brewers don't make a lot of errors and the Mets have runners at the corners with nobody out. That's going to break. And now let's see if they cash it in. Soto at the plate is the tying run after striking out his first time up on the ground. Double play chance here to get the second Hadley exchange a run to get a double play ball off the bat a long Soto Brewers fortunate that ball was hit hard but right at the rank easy double play no RBI but a run is in Garrett Mitchell two for two twenty second double of the season. Milwaukee has a runner in scoring position. Well these guys I mean we talk about their they don't hit a ton of home runs but they've hit the second or third most doubles and Andrew Vaughn comes to the plate it's a two run homerun. That's great great great. It is one thing to hit a homer Rockets another thing to hit a homerun in front of Billy. We encourage you to call that homerun. You could have done that. I'm excited about it. Yeah I did. I didn't have this kind of opportunity here. Often it's wonderful to see. Here you go. Yeah. Fantastic. Awesome. Mizorowski with five strikeouts tied him up. He goes actually a foul ball into the middle of Contreras and that is a strikeout for Mizorowski. Number six the four seam fastball in off the plate. Robert tried to check his swing but just couldn't do it. And the Brewers have another runner in scoring position with nobody out and he strikes out on the curve ball. For a strikeout for Peralta's second time he's got Ortiz. That was a good one right there. Spreading the third is Pratt wild pitch charged to Freddy Peralta another run 90 feet away with less than two outs. Soft ground ball hit towards first Youngfields in fair territory steps on the back of the out that holds or Pratt over a third and Peralta gets a second out without giving up a run. And that brings up Jackson Chirio and he strikes out Chirio to end the inning. Five strikeouts for Freddy first zero. He's been up tonight. Jacob Mizorowski is indeed out of this game and certainly just about them monitoring his innings it seems. Craig Yoho takes over for Jacob Mizorowski clearly on a pitch limit tonight and another changeup. He struck him out Yoho gets one Soto picks up his first K and the first one was down and then that was right on the outside corner. It's exactly where you want to look at the pronation on that pitch. Swing and a miss Yoho gets the strikeout well from a blazing fastball to the butterfly changeup for Craig Yoho. And I know he's a brewer now but it certainly looks different with him not wearing a Houston Astros uniform. So McCullers makes his Brewers debut it's his ninth appearance of the season and he got him got him on the cutter McCullers with the adrenaline pumping strikes out Lindor a five pitch mix for McCullers that shoulder issues after elbow problems as a good pitch Cooper Pratt has his third hit a night that Freddy Peralta saw on the calendar for a long time. He got traded over but one that he'd like to have back he departs haven't given up five runs first and third one out in the six he gets a hand from Milwaukee fan base who still loves him right hander Xavier Curry is the new pitcher for the New York Mets and the Brewers have a cook it here with two on and one out. Curry will see Ortiz and Ortiz down the left field line eight to one. He makes the pitching change and it backfires another curveball. Mistakes on the breaking pitches for the Mets tonight. That was a hangar right down the middle and two of those runs on the line of Freddy Peralta. That's the way the year's gone for Freddy seven earned runs to pitch and a called third strike on a curveball. So Lance McCullers with his second strikeout of the evening and two quick outs and here's Francisco Alvarez swinging to this got him on the sweeper Lance McCullers Junior making a debut shine here tonight six up six down picks up his third game second and third one out Francisco Lindoro will be coming up with two in scoring position. Here comes Chris Huck who is the pitching coach for run lead. This is looking dicey. Well seven run lead it's not. You're still Lindor at the plate and one bad pitch could turn this thing into a really different situation. He rolls over one down at first and I'll get one in one makes the first play to the pitcher. Soto comes home to score. Thanks to the need to get so two down the shed third and now Jorge Polanco trying to get his season restarted coming back from the Achilles injury just three for twenty four since coming off the injury list. That's London a right field and Polanco drives on a run. The ship comes in to score Polanco with an RBI hit to make an eight to three slider that just didn't do anything right down the pipe. So that's what two runs over here at the top to base runner. Here's A.J. Ewing now back to the top of the Mets order. It'd be nice to end this thing right here. Have the best record in major league baseball.
