Brewers 4, Mets 2 (10): Carlos Gomez capped a four-hit performance with an RBI bloop single the 10th inning as visiting Milwaukee posted its third straight 4-2 victory over New York.
Gomez homered for the third time in five games and Yuniesky Betancourt added a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and an RBI single in the 10th. Scooter Gennett had a pair of singles for the Brewers, who have won six of seven.
Caleb Gindl worked a four-pitch walk to lead off the 10th inning against Scott Atchison (3-3) before advancing to third on Jonathan Lucroy's single up the middle. Gomez floated a first-pitch curveball into shallow right-center field to plate Gindl before Betancourt capped the scoring with a line-drive single to right.
Eric Young Jr. ripped an RBI single over the third-base bag to forge a 2-2 tie in the ninth inning. Donovan Hand (1-5) was credited with his first major-league victory after failing to secure his first career save - that honor went to Alfredo Figaro, who retired the side in the 10th.
Gomez snapped a scoreless tie in the fourth inning after depositing a 3-2 hanging slider from Aaron Harang just inside the left-field foul pole for his 24th homer.
