Matt Garza (7-7) allowed one run and two hits over eight innings
as the Brewers won for the sixth time in eight games to take
possession of the National League’s best record at 58-45. The Mets
dropped to 3-4 on their 10-game road trip.
Davis reached base three times on two hits and a walk while scoring
twice for Milwaukee. Carlos Gomez recorded two hits and two runs
while Lucroy also produced two hits for the Brewers, who have
slugged nine homers over their last three games.
Lucroy hit a solo blast in the first inning and Milwaukee added four
runs in the second off Dillon Gee (4-3), who gave up six runs and
six hits in five innings. Jean Segura hit a two-run triple into the
right-center field gap before Gomez and Lucroy delivered run-scoring
singles to make it 5-0.
