Milwaukee Brewers at New York Mets

A scoring rally that began with six straight singles. Three hits for Sal Frelick in his return from a shoulder injury. Brice Turang's first home run of August. Two infield hits and a stolen base for Cooper Pratt on the day after his hustle came into question. Plus, a stray squirrel. Milwaukee’s 8-1 win over the Mets on Wednesday night at Citi Field featured a little bit of everything. But it started with a serious scare.  Starter Dustin May's very first pitch came screaming back at him at 106 mph off the bat of Mets leadoff hitter A.J. Ewing, leading to May’s exit on a day Milwaukee’s bullpen had multiple arms down. On Day 2 of 16 games in 16 days, it had the potential to be the kind of game that impacts a pitching staff for days. “Our guys respond pretty well, just in general,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said.  And that’s precisely what they did. Left-hander Robert Gasser provided parts of six innings of emergency relief, and the Brewers started the second inning with six successive singles -- their first inning with six consecutive singles since 1998 -- for a four-run lead before adding three more in the fourth on Turang’s first home run since July 31 -- a particularly satisfying clout, considering it followed a late-night hitting session with Christian Yelich that had stretched into the wee hours of Wednesday morning.
