Yesterday's Results
The Brewers left no doubt in who would win this one. They started the scoring quick with a Jonathan Lucroy home run in the first, then followed it up with four more in the second inning and another run in the third. Meanwhile, Matt Garza was dominant, holding the Mets to one run and two hits in eight innings.
