Mets vs. Brewers Game Highlights (7/22/26) | MLB Highlights

Brewers are a half game back of the best record in the majors rock and Logan Henderson gets the ball for him today and he's been outstanding he's won three consecutive decisions he missed June he was on the injured list with lower back issue he came out of his last start a little bit early with a forearm cramp so the Brewers going to keep an eye on that today. Good news is the Brewers bullpen is fresh and ready to go. Ewing swings and misses at a backdoor cutter one up and one down on the first strike out of the game for Logan Henderson brings up Francisco Lindor. That's a foul tip that's a strikeout home plate umpire Andy Fletcher heard the click of the bat right into the mid of Contreras and back to back case for Henderson Lindor didn't think he felt it did two outs top of the first year's bowl Bichette round ball hit back to the mound knocked down by Henderson he can't fight if it's at his feet picks it up in the grass throws wildly to first base and throws it into foul ground Bichette takes the turn and heads to second he stops right there as Bowers picks it up down the line and right is called a single and then an E-1. A single to put Bichette at first base of course the E-1 to give him a little head start to second and now we'll see if Carson Bench can try to knock in the freebie runner in scoring position and a swing at a miss got him on a fastball three strikeouts in the first for Logan Henderson Christian Scott day for the New York Mets Christian Scott who's had a really strong twenty twenty six to eight seventy R.A. coming off of one of his best outings of the year against Philadelphia Jackson Churio in the number two spot hit lead off yesterday and Churio goes down on the sweeper beautiful pitch by Scott to get Churio for the second out and Turing draws a walk to our pass and the Brewers with a speedy base runner aboard for William Contreras the breaking ball popped up should be easy for Jared Young and he puts it away to retire the side no score after one in Milwaukee Logan Henderson back to work in this second inning 14 pitches in the first swing and a miss there's the signature pitch for Logan Henderson the changeup. Jared Young coming up there's a punt in the air Ortiz snacks it throw to first in time five degree of difficulty. Joey Ortiz just to catch that ball clean was a miraculous feat and then a perfect throw to first two out of nobody on now Marcus Simeone at a base at last night Simeone Watkins went out to left field back goes Churio back to the wall and he jumps and it's a home run Marcus Simeone he'll tell you when he's pulling the ball in the air for power that's when things are moving in the right direction for last night it was Jared Young homering in the second inning to get the Mets the early lead and today it's Simeone Mitchell's been on a tear and to get on for Andrew Vaughn and Mitchell draws the wall. Excellent take a curve ball barely missed it might have been a strike actually. So a lead man on Andrew Vaughn and a two run homer against the Mets on Monday in the air. Center that's going to get down Mitchell around second on his way to third for the base hit and the Brewers in business here in the second inning with runners at the corner after the Mets get a two out homer from Simeone in the top of the second inning. Brewers trying to answer immediately and the breaking ball popped up on the infield the shed coming in one hands it one out. So there's a big out for Scott Cooper Pratt now in the hot part of the lineup down here lately eight nine hit it and he struck him out Scott with a couple of fastballs blown away Cooper Pratt and there's a big second out. That'll be up to Joey Ortiz first and third nobody out now first and third two outs Ortiz fly ball to right got some barrel on it or grab the lead two to one. Well I'm not sure what happened out there in right field that ball's got to be caught. Beaty is playing just his eighteenth game in right field. He's an infielder by trade but they're trying to find a spot for him in the lineup for his bat and that cost the Mets big time there. Back to the top of the order Christian Yelich Yelich slaps one vintage Yelich right there. It is three to one Brewers missed play out in right field is caught the Mets three runs now that crooked number that we've come so accustomed to by this Brewer's offense first nine batters for the Mets five strikeouts two hits including a homer for Henderson top of the order now AJ Ewing second time around for Henderson that's ripped into right field a base hit for Ewing. So AJ has himself a one out single Mets base runner in front of Lindor. That one's in the air and that one is fairly deep. But Mitchell eases back and makes a play for out number two and a hot bat to retire. Well done though. Bichette next to the plate swing and a miss. There's the change up went with his best pitch and Bichette strikes out long battle. There's one away for Jorge Polanco to pitch swing and a miss got him with a change up. Another strikeout for Logan Henderson. He is missing a lot of bats over the course of the afternoon. Henderson tried to make it a three up three down frame and he sticks the landing dots the fastball right on the inside corner. Can't do it any better. His best inning yet retires the side in order two more strikeouts and Henderson with eight punch outs. So Vaughn does draw the walk. Good way to start the fourth Brewers have a man on Jake Bowers popped out in the second and the back breaking ball got him looking nice. Bowers after getting hit two and oh to three straight strikes here's Cooper Pratt Pratt take strike three call. How about that. Back to back case. Here's Joey Ortiz now Ortiz with a base hit to right station the station with Vaughn running ahead of him. But Joey O is two for two. That's it for Christian. I'm not going to let him finish seeing no parents coming in Scott out after three and two third two on and two out to face Christian Yelich who had an RBI single his last time up and he chops one out to Lindor grabs the hop throws on Yelich Perez gets the job done keeps it a three to one game after four in Milwaukee. Here's Batey who flat out to left his first time up Batey playing right field has so far been kind of at the center of the play of the game. Batey cranks one out to right field back near the wall. It's out of here. Brett Batey hooks a home run over the right field wall his sixth of the year to get the Mets back with a run right in that same area over the right field fence the ball that he did not catch that was on the track in front of that right field fence. For now he makes up for it for at least one run. Now Alvarez has a called strike three is Alvarez is rung up strikeout number nine matches a career best for Henderson and now A.J. Ewing who's one for two at a base hit to right his last time up and he lines went to right center field that's going to be down for a base and it's going to roll all the way back to the wall Ewing to second as Mitchell heaves it in and A.J. stops at second base with a well struck double his second hit of the day. So now the tying run in scoring position with two down with Francisco Lindor coming up Henderson deals and Lindor a flick of the bat right to Terrang. Excellent pitching by Henderson and he is through five. The left hander works on Jackson Churio his first offering is a looping liner in the shallow left the top of the glove of Lindor it's a base hit for Jackson Churio Lindor got back there made a leaping attempt just off the tip of his glove. Bryce Terrang digs in he's over one with a walk and there's a shot in the left center. Beautiful piece of hitting by Bryce Terrang and the Brewers have two on to start this fifth inning Perez against Contreras. This is the moment for the Brewers here got the matchup Contreras on the ground slow bouncer and out at second. That's going to be worth looking at. Murphy asking his video team and they say challenge Chief Andy Fletcher sends it to the crew in New York and he was definitely on the rise as far as the pop up goes. Oh yeah he's safe. I think he's in there and we'll see how they see it in New York after review. The ball in the field is overturned. Runner safe. They're loaded with nobody out. Chance to break this game open and the slur of it's in for strike three call. So Mitchell is frozen and that's the first out of the inning and that's going to be all for Perez. Razaban will come in to face the right hand hitter Vaughn on a big spot. It won't take much to get Cheerio home from third ground ball to short a chance for two Lindor to Simeone and on the first in time double play side retired the Brewers and the bases loaded and nobody out and they do not score. Joey Ortiz is the hitter with two outs nobody on base. He has tripled home two runs. He has also singled the right field. There's a shot that's fair. Dow Jones hits the sidewall and stops in there. Ortiz is going to keep on running. There it is on the tarp. That'll be an automatic double. It means Joey Ortiz is a home run away from the cycle now for him. Joey not slowing down. He just kept running. Well Razaban is going to exit and they're going to bring in A.J. Mitter to get Christian Yelich Joey Ortiz in scoring position. Yelich drove in a run with an opposite field single in the second inning one one Yelich center field. That is what Christian Yelich makes it for the two Brewers. His Lindor is over three today and he lashes one in a right field at base and good at bat for Lindor. Now it's eight hits in his last 15 at bats and the Mets get the time to bat in the eighth inning two for two against a rebate as Bichette in his career. Now it's in there. Need Buckler see you later. Back to the slider to out Lindor is still at first and now Carson Benz and last the other way a base hit for Benz and the Mets have the tying runs on base Carson Benz wasting no time. First pitch fastball goes the other way and the Mets have two on with two out with Jorge Polanco coming up two and two Polanco on the ground to ring snares it throw it a first. And it's in time. What a play by Bowers and what a play by Bryce to ring and spectacular infield defense starts with to ring ends with Bowers inning is over Ortiz is announced and gets a big hand. He's had a big game three hits to RBI triple a single and a double. Brewers have not had a player hit for the cycle since Christian Yelich that was back in twenty twenty two. Well full count with two outs and he takes ball for the fans booing. They want to see a long ball Ortiz on base for the fourth time and it is set up for Trevor McGill. He is on to try to nail down his 16th save of the year tying run immediately comes to the plate McGill walks Taylor Taylor goes to second and the Mets down to their last out Francisco Alvarez Francisco Rips one through the hole a base hit Taylor to third he'll come in to score Francisco Alvarez with an RBI single to get the Mets within a run tying run at first and AJ Ewing coming up. That's on the ground. What a play Ortiz to his feet. He's with a defensive Jim have a game Joey O the Brewers win four to three McGill with the same and the Brewers with another comeback win and they are five and one on this homestand.
