A pair of homers in a three-run eighth inning led the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> to a 5\u20133 comeback victory over the New York Mets<\/a> Wednesday night at American Family Field in Milwaukee, sending the NL Wild Card Series to a winner-take-all third game.<\/p>\n Jackson Chourio<\/a><\/strong> homered twice for the Brewers Wednesday, tying the game both times. The go-ahead clout came from Garrett Mitchell<\/a><\/strong>, who entered the game in the sixth as a pinch-runner for designated hitter Gary Sanchez<\/a><\/strong>. He hit it following a two-strike single by Willy Adames<\/a><\/strong>, who fouled off two tough curveballs on a 1\u20132 count before belting the single.<\/p>\n \u201cYou saw what our team’s about, what they’ve been about all year,\u201d Brewers manager Pat Murphy<\/a><\/strong> told reporters. \u201cA lot of contributors, a lot of guys gave us what they had, and they didn’t quit.\u201d<\/p>\n The Mets took a 1\u20130 lead in the top of the first on an RBI single to right by Brandon Nimmo<\/a><\/strong> off Brewers starting pitcher Frankie Montas<\/a><\/strong>. Chourio hit his first game-tying homer on the third pitch of the bottom of the first, a liner to the right-field seats off Mets starting pitcher Sean Manaea<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Mets regained the lead in the top of the second thanks to a Francisco Alvarez<\/a><\/strong> RBI single and a Francisco Lindor<\/a><\/strong> sacrifice fly, making the score 3\u20131. It became a 3\u20132 game in the bottom of the fifth after another sacrifice fly, this time by Blake Perkins<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Reed Garrett<\/strong><\/a> and Ryne Stanek<\/a><\/strong> pitched a scoreless sixth and seventh, respectively, for the Mets. Phil Maton<\/a><\/strong> took the hill for the Mets in the eighth but did not fare as well as his relief brethren. Chourio welcomed him to the game with a no-doubt game-tying homer off the facing of the second deck in right. Three batters later, with two outs and the bases empty, Willy Adames singled to right, bringing up Mitchell for his home-run heroics to complete the scoring.<\/p>\nBrewers \u2013 Mets Game Summary<\/h3>\n
