Mets 6, Brewers 2: Taylor Teagarden belted a grand slam in his debut with New York and Daniel Murphy delivered a two-run shot as the host Mets snapped their six-game losing streak.

Teagarden ripped a 3-2 pitch the opposite way to right field in the sixth inning as his second career grand slam - and first home run since last June 22 - bounced off the top of the wall and into the seats to give New York a 6-1 lead. Daisuke Matsuzaka (3-0) yielded one run, three hits and three walks while striking out five in six innings.

Marco Estrada (5-3) lost for the first time in four starts, allowing six runs, four hits and four walks while striking out five in six frames, and has yielded a major league-high 20 homers this season. Lyle Overbay had two hits and drove in a run while Carlos Gomez added an RBI for the Brewers.

Ruben Tejada walked with two out in the third and Murphy followed by blasting a 1-0 offering over the wall in right to give the Mets a 2-0 lead. The Brewers cut the deficit in half in the fourth, when Khris Davis was hit by a pitch with one out and scored when Overbay bounced a double down the first-base line.

Estrada ran into control problems in the sixth as he walked David Wright and Curtis Granderson with one out, and Lucas Duda with two away to set the stage for Teagarden, who was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday to replace the struggling Travis d'Arnaud. Gomez's two-out RBI double in the eighth made it 6-2.
