The New York Mets lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 9-0 tonight at American Family Field for their second consecutive loss and dropped their record to 3-3.

RHP Max Scherzer got off to a rocky start in the bottom of the first after he gave up a lead-off single to LF Christian Yelich and two batters a single to SS Willy Adames.

Two batters later, Scherzer gave up a two-run double to 3B Brian Anderson.

Scherzer was able to recover with scoreless innings in the bottom of the second, third, fourth and fifth.

However, it all fell apart for him in the bottom of the sixth after he gave up back-to-back homers to 1B Rowdy Tellez, Anderson and CF Garrett Mitchell and was then taken out.

His final line was 5.1 innings, eight hits, five runs, two walks and two strikeouts.

RHP Denyl Reyes followed and got the last two outs in the bottom of the sixth.

LHP Brooks Raley came in next in the bottom of the seventh and allowed two singles and then gave up a three-homer to Anderson, his second homer of the game.

Raley then gave up a solo homer to the following hitter Mitchell for his second homer of the game.

RJP Adam Ottavino came in the bottom of the eighth and threw a scoreless inning.

The offense did not do much all night with eight hits leaving seven runners on base and going 0-5 with runners in scoring position.

The Mets next game is tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday, April 5 at the Brewers at 1:40 p.m.
