Jonathon Lucroy hit a 2 run homer (5) in the top of the 13^th inning breaking 1 all tie and igniting a 4 run inning. The Brewers beat the Mets 5-1. The game was a pitcher’s duel between Jonathon Niese and Kyle Lohse for the first 8 innings. The Brewers took the 1-0 in the 2^nd on a solo homer (7) by Aramas Ramirez. The Mets tied the game in the 4^th on a sac-fly by Bobby Abreu. That’s the way it stayed till the 13^th. In the bottom of the 11^th the Mets loaded the bases with 1 out and failed to score. Anthony Recker was struck out looking with 2 outs and was thrown out of the game by home plate umpire Angel Hernandez for arguing the 3^rd strike. Niese pitched brilliantly once again. Going 7 2/3 allowing 6 hits 1 run (earned) 1 walk and 8 strikeouts. He gets the no decision once again.

Torres pitched out of a 1 out 2nd and 3^rd jam striking out Scooter Gennet and Rickie Weeks back to back to end the top of the 12^th. In the 13^th Torres melted down allowing 7 hits and the 4 runs and takes the loss falling to 2-4. Mejia nailed the last 2 outs of the 10^th and went to start the 11^th but left the game with back stiffness.  Dana Eveland mopped up and hit Rickie Weeks with a pitch with the bases loaded to bring the last run. Zach Duke gets the win he improves to 4-0. The Mets drop 2 of 3 to the Brewers. With the loss the Mets are now 29-37 on the year and 14-19 at home.
