The Milwaukee Brewers completed a four-game sweep of the New York Mets with a dramatic 7-6 victory on Sunday. The game was tied 6-6 in the bottom of the ninth inning when Brewers outfielder Brett Mitchell hit a solo home run to give his team the win.
The Brewers had taken an early lead in the game, scoring three runs in the first inning. The Mets answered back with two runs in the second inning and then added four more in the fourth inning to take a 6-3 lead. The Brewers were able to tie the game in the sixth inning with three runs of their own.
The game remained tied until the bottom of the ninth inning when Mitchell stepped up to the plate. He had already had a good game, going 3-4 with two RBIs. On the first pitch of his at-bat, he sent a towering fly ball over the left field fence for a solo home run, giving the Brewers the 7-6 victory.
The win capped off a great series for the Brewers, who outscored the Mets 28-13 over the four games. Mitchell was one of several Brewers players who had a great series, as he went 8-14 with four RBIs and two home runs.
The Brewers are now in first place in the National League Central Division and have won seven of their last eight games. They will look to continue their winning streak as they take on the Chicago Cubs in a three-game series starting Monday.
The dramatic victory over the Mets was a great way for the Brewers to finish off their series and keep their momentum going. Mitchell’s ninth inning home run will be remembered for a long time by Brewers fans, and it could be an important moment in their season.
