A Rhys Hoskins Grand Slam in the 1st put the Mets is a 4-0 hole they never climbed out of.  Mark Vientos homered in the 3rd to pull the Mets to 5-2.  Milwaukee added solo runs in the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th.


From the Brewers Game Notes: "The Brewers have now gone 24-8 over their last 32 games against the Mets, including 11-1 in the last 12 games with 6 consecutive wins."


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets lose ugly to Brewers, Francisco Alvarez exits with injury. "Maybe those rainouts weren’t so bad after all...Francisco Alvarez exited in the seventh inning because of back spasms. Francisco Lindor looked hurt in his return from his own ongoing back injury. Sean Manaea contributed his worst start in more than three months. Manager Carlos Mendoza got ejected for arguing balls and strikes. Milwaukee stole six bases. And the Mets committed one error and another misplay."


Brian Joura Mets 360: "It’s tough to blame the umps when you give up eight runs. But it felt like the umps had it in for the Mets in this game, an 8-4 loss to the Brewers. Milwaukee is now 10-1 against the Mets since the start of 2023."


NY Post: Mets drop first game of key Brewers series in complete disaster. "In his worst start of the second half, Manaea lasted only 3 2/3 innings and surrendered six runs, one unearned, on seven hits and two walks with one strikeout."

1962

In front of only 595 fans at Wrigley Field, the Cubs (58-101) beat the Mets (39-118) in the first meeting in major league history between two 100-loss teams before the series begins. The New York expansion team will split the remaining two games in Chicago to finish the season 40-120, establishing the record for the most losses in baseball's modern-era.

2003

At Turner Field in Atlanta, Jose Reyes becomes the second Mets player to hit a home run from both sides of the plate in one game. Lee Mazzilli was the first when he went yard twice against the Dodgers in LA on September 3, 1978.

2008

The Mets play their final game at Shea Stadium, a 4-2 loss to the Marlins, disappointing a sellout crowd by failing to qualify for the postseason on the last day of the season for the second consecutive year. After the contest, former Mets, including Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Yogi Berra, and Tom Seaver, as well as Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden and Mike Piazza, but not any of the club's current players, take part in a ceremony to celebrate the history of the 45 year-old ballpark in front of the subdued spectators gathered to 'Shea Goodbye'.

2010

David Wright sets the all-time Mets record for strikeouts in a season with 157. The third baseman passes the infamous mark shared by Dave Kingman (1982) and Tommie Agee (1970).

2011

Jose Reyes takes himself out of the season finale, after laying down a bunt single off Edinson Volquez in the first inning of the Mets' 3-0 victory over Cincinnati at Citi Field. The infield hit, which will be his last for the Mets until returning to the club in 2016, raises the shortstop's average to a league-leading .337, nudging Milwaukee's Ryan Braun for the NL batting crown, the first in franchise history.
