Mets waste early five-run advantage, walked off by Brewers for seventh straight loss

The Mets were walked off the Milwaukee Brewers 7-6 on Sunday afternoon at American Family Ballpark.

Here are some takeaways...
- Quinn Priester has been dominant for the Brewers this season, but the Mets' offense was able to jump all over him in this one, putting a run on the board in each of his five innings of work. Juan Soto and Jeff McNeil got things started with run scoring knocks in the top of the first.

Brett Baty led off the second with an opposite-field blast, Ronny Mauricio delivered a two out RBI single in the third, Cedric Mullins went the other way for his first home run as a Met leading off the fifth, then Pete Alonso drove in Soto with a double in the fifth.

- Sean Manaea pitched well after being handed the early advantage. He danced around a one out double in the first and then a two out walk in the second, before putting together his first clean inning of work. As was the case in his last outing, though, the lefty showed some signs of fatigue late.

William Contreras got the Brewers on the board with a solo shot in the fourth. Milwaukee then loaded the bases with a double, single and two out walk and Joey Ortiz cut further into the deficit with a two-run single.

Manaea came back for the fifth, but was pulled after allowing a leadoff hit. Reed Garrett entered and immediately allowed a two-run shot to Contreras to cut into the lead and close Manaea's line with four runs allowed on six hits and two walks.

No Mets starter (or bulk arm) completed five innings during the three-game weekend set.
