The Brewers had all but confirmed their spot in the Divisional Round with a two run lead against the Mets, but Milwaukee threw it all away in the ninth inning as New York pulled off an incredible comeback to stay in the playoffs.
Mets Comeback Stuns Brewers
Against all odds on Thursday night the Brewers were eliminated from the MLB postseason. Having scored the only two runs in the game during the seventh inning, things looked good for Milwaukee heading into the ninth
But Pete Alonso of the Mets had other ideas, with his home run in the final inning saving the day for New York who advanced to a Divisional Round matchup against the number one seeded Phillies.
Speaking after the game-clinching homer, Alonso said: “Words can’t explain. Words can’t explain. I’m just so excited right now. It was so exciting. I’m just so happy that I could come through.”
