The New York Mets moved forward in a powerful encounter

On Thursday night, the New York Mets defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 thanks to a three-run home run by Pete Alonso against All-Star reliever Devin Williams in the ninth inning. This result allowed the Mets to win their NL Wild Card Series.

For the first time since winning the 2015 National League pennant, the Mets advanced in the postseason with this thrilling comeback in Game 3 against Milwaukee.

They will take on the NL East champion Phillies in a best-of-five Division Series that begins on Saturday in Philadelphia. This postseason matchup between these rivals will be their first. It’s been unbelievable. How exciting,” Alonso exclaimed. “I’m just thrilled to be a part of this team.”

Alonso created history by being the first player in big league history to hit the game-winning home run in the ninth inning or later of a winner-take-all postseason game when his club was losing.

“You practice this in your backyard as a child,” Alonso stated.

Despite winning the National League Central and making it to the sixth round of the playoffs in seven years, the Brewers have yet to win a postseason series since they advanced to Game 7 of the 2018 National League Championship Series.

This loss will be particularly painful. “This team is amazing,” manager Pat Murphy remarked. “I cherish them. There’s no way I could ever top 2024. The outcome wasn’t what we had hoped for. Actually, it ended terribly.

When pinch-hitters Jake Bauers and Sal Frelick launched successive home runs off of Jose Buttó pitches to end a scoreless tie in the seventh inning, Milwaukee appeared poised to win. For the first eight innings, rookie right-hander Tobias Myers and three relievers for the Brewers combined to shut out the Mets while giving up just two singles.

Before facing Williams, the two-time NL reliever of the year who recorded a save in Milwaukee’s Game 2 victory on Wednesday, the Mets had actually retired 12 successive batters.

But that evening, he wasn’t feeling his best. Williams declared, “I’m not going to make any excuses.” “I did not perform as well as I should have. I failed to finish the task while they did.

Francisco Lindor drew an eight-pitch walk to begin the ninth inning. After Brandon Nimmo sharply singled on a 0-2 pitch, Mark Vientos struck out, putting runners on the corners.
