Brewers Defeat Mets 8-4 Behind Hoskins' Grand Slam

The New York Mets secured a crucial 5-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, positioning themselves one win away from clinching a playoff spot. Francisco Lindor and Francisco Alvarez both contributed two RBIs, while David Peterson delivered a superb seven-inning performance, allowing just one hit. With a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves scheduled, the Mets must win at least one game to secure a National League wild card position, as their magic number now stands at one. Meanwhile, Rhys Hoskins of the Brewers continued to haunt the Mets, hitting a grand slam in a prior game, leading to an 8-4 defeat for New York. The stakes are high for the Mets, who could either secure a playoff berth or face elimination based on the outcomes of their doubleheader against the Braves. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed optimism about the team's chances despite the challenges ahead.
