Sat Jul 05 20:20:00 UTC 2025: **Brewers Stumble in New York, Drop Series to Mets**
NEW YORK – After a promising start with a 7-2 victory fueled by Joey Ortiz’s grand slam, the Milwaukee Brewers suffered a disappointing series loss to the New York Mets, concluding on July 3rd at Citi Field with a narrow 3-2 defeat. This marks their first series loss since June 9-11 against the Atlanta Braves.
Despite a solo home run from Andruw Monasterio, his first of the year, the Brewers’ offense struggled to capitalize on opportunities. A controversial stolen base call against Christian Yelich in the eighth inning further hampered their comeback efforts.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy expressed frustration with the close losses, noting the team’s inability to get key bounces. Starting pitcher José Quintana also lamented a series of unfortunate plays in the sixth inning that led to a Mets rally.
The Mets, fueled by a strong home performance from pitcher David Peterson, improved to 9-0 in his home starts this season.
The Brewers (1-35 when trailing after eight innings) now head to Miami to face the Marlins. The pitching matchups are as follows:
* July 4: Quinn Priester vs. Sandy Alcantara
* July 5: Chad Patrick vs. Cal Quantrill
* July 6: Brandon Woodruff vs. Edward Cabrera
