Though starting pitchers Jacob deGrom and Zach Davies combined to strike out a dozen batters in 10 1/3 innings, they also allowed three home runs. Ramon Flores' first career homer gave the Brewers an early lead off deGrom, which held up until Cespedes chased Davies with his blast in the sixth. Flores finished with three RBIs, while Curtis Granderson also homered for the Mets.
The Mets snapped a streak of 12 games scoring four runs or fewer.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Wright sends one home: The winning rally began when Eric Campbell sent a ground-ball single through the right side to lead off the ninth, just out of the reach of Scooter Gennett's glove. The next batter, Kevin Plawecki, walked, and Matt Reynolds sacrificed both men into scoring position. After Granderson was intentionally walked, Wright worked the count to 3-0 before lacing his single into right-center.
One for the mantle: With the Brewers trailing, 1-0, with one on and two away in the second, Flores turned on a 93-mph four-seam fastball from deGrom and deposited it over the right-field wall for his first career home run. The Milwaukee outfielder entered Saturday's contest batting .190 on the season. In the fourth, Flores picked up his third RBI -- a career high -- on a sacrifice fly.
