 The New York Mets beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-5 tonight at American Family Feud for their sixth consecutive win and improved their record to 95-55.

The offense did not do much for the first five innings, but finally came alive in the top of the sixth.

LF Mark Canha was hit by a pitch with one out and then SS Francisco Lindor followed with a single.

1B Pete Alonso then hit a three-run homer for his 37th homer of the year. 

Alonso has hit three-run homers in back-to-back games.

In the top of the seventh, pinch-hitter Darrin Ruf walked with one out and then catcher James McCann and CF Brandon Nimmo followed with walks to load the bases.

Canha then struck out, but then Lindor came up and delivered a grand slam that was crushed deep into the left field bleachers.

RHP Carlos Carrasco had a rough outing allowing three runs on five hits in four innings.

He gave up two walks and four strikeouts.

RHP Trevor Williams came in next and gave up a run in 1.1 innings. 

LHP Joely Rodriguez followed with a scoreless inning. He picked up his second win.

RHP Trevor May appeared next and picked up two keys outs to end the bottom of the seventh.

RHP Adam Ottavino gave a run in the bottom of the eighth and got the first two outs in the inning.

RHP Edwin Diaz came in next for a four-out save and had a dominating performance striking out three out of the four hitters he faced.

Diaz picked up his 31th save of the year.

The Mets next game is tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday, September 21, at the Brewers at 2:10 p.m.
