Mets fall behind Brewers early and never catch up

Freddy Peralta struggled in his return to Milwaukee, and the offense could not figure anything out even after Jacob Misiorowski left the game after the fourth inning, all of which resulted in an 8-3 loss for the Mets.

Bo Bichette put to rest any hopes of a no-hitter for Misiorowski in the first inning as he broke his bat on an in-field single. Francisco Lindor also smacked a single into left field, but Jorge Polanco was called out on strikes to end the Mets' first-inning bid immediately after. Peralta walked Jackson Chourio with one out, and then Brice Turang whacked a ball right over Jared Young's head down into the corner of right field for an RBI double. After Peralta struck out William Contreras, Garrett Mitchell also smacked one into right field for an RBI single. By the time that Andrew Vaughn flied out to end the inning, Peralta's pitch count was already 24, and the score was Brewers 2, Mets 0.
