The New York Mets lost to the Milwaukee Brewers 8-4 tonight at Great American Family Field for their second consecutive loss and dropped their record to 87-71.

LHP Sean Manaea got off to a tough start in the bottom of the first walking two hitters and then giving up a grand slam to 1B Rhys Hoskins.

Manaea gave up another run in the bottom of the second on a RBI double by 2B Brice Turang.

Manaea had a scoreless bottom of the third and then gave up an RBI single to LF Jackson Churino in the bottom of the fourth and was taken out with two outs in the inning.

His final line was 3.2 innings, seven hits, six runs, five earned runs, two walks and one strikeout.

LHP Alex Young gave up a solo homer to DH Gary Sanchez in the bottom of the eighth.

The Met offense was held scoreless for the first two innings until 3B Mark Vientos hit a two-run homer in the top of the third.

The offense did not do much for the next four innings and tried to rally in the top of the eighth after pinch-hitter Harrison Bader hit a sacrifice fly and then 1B Pete Alonso reached on an error which brought home a run.

Catcher Luis Torrens came up as the tying run after Francisco Alvarez left the game with back spasms, but flew out to right field to end the threat.

The offense was unable to come up with any timely hits going 0-6 with runners in scoring position leaving eight runners on base.

The Mets next game is tomorrow night, Saturday, September 28 at the Brewers at 7:15 p.m.
