MILWAUKEE — The Mets returned on Friday night to the scene of one of their greatest victories in franchise history: American Family Field, where Pete Alonso hit a ninth-inning, go-ahead three-run homer off Devin Williams to help send the Mets to an improbable Wild Card series victory in 2024.
Then the Mets went out and reminded everyone that it’s not 2024 with one of their most heartbreaking losses of 2025.
The Mets' 3-2 defeat to the Brewers ended when Starling Marte was thrown out at the plate by centerfielder Blake Perkins on a Jeff McNeil single in the ninth.
The call was reviewed, it stood, and Mets lost their fifth in a row and ninth in 10 games. Since June 13, when they were 45-24, the Mets are 18-29.
