Milwaukee at NY Mets When: 1:10 PM ET, Sunday, May 17, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers have traded lopsided victories in the first two games of their series. One team will try to turn the trick again when the Brewers visit the Mets for the rubber match of the three-game series on Sunday. Milwaukee took Friday’s opener 7-0 but was ripped 14-1 on Saturday as New York's offense enjoyed its best night of the season. The Mets came within one run of matching the franchise record for runs in an inning with a 10-run fourth against Matt Garza in Saturday’s triumph – equaling the team’s run total in the previous five games in the frame. Even starting pitcher Jacob deGrom got into the action, pounding out two hits in the rally and collecting three of New York’s 16 hits on the night. The victory snapped a five-game slide for the Mets and handed Milwaukee its third loss in the last four contests. TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), WPIX (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Wily Peralta (1-4, 3.80 ERA) vs. Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (0-1, 5.06) Peralta followed up his first win with a fourth straight quality start, holding the Chicago White Sox to two runs and six hits in six innings on Monday. The 26-year-old has only surrendered four earned runs in his last three starts, but all four have come as a result of the home run ball. Peralta is 3-0 with a 1.35 ERA in three career starts against New York. Syndergaard is making his second career start after a shaky debut on Tuesday at Chicago, when he was reached for three runs on six hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings against the Cubs. The hard-throwing Texan held the Cubs scoreless until the sixth, when an RBI double and a two-run homer marred his final line. Syndergaard struck out six in that outing. WALK-OFFS: 1. Mets SS Wilmer Flores hit a grand slam on Saturday and has a pair of homers in the last three contests. 2. Milwaukee SS Luis Sardinas went 2-for-3 with a run scored in his team debut on Saturday. 3. New York CF Juan Lagares is 3-for-34 over his last eight games.

The Buckets will be watching from section 505 today.

Hopefully they'll score a couple of touchdowns again for youse!

Mets Guy in Michigan May 17 2015 08:32 AM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

In keeping with the mathematical patterns created by the first two games, the final score today will be 21-2. Buy an extra scorecard, you're gonna need the space.

Lets build some momentum with St. Louis coming in.

Ashie62 May 17 2015 11:50 AM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

Noah's curve left Carlos Gomez scrambling for his helmet. Lets get a few runs before the kid get pulled. Then again let him go eight.

Things are going better when they're walking Murphy to get Flores. #really?

Zvon May 17 2015 12:37 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

This is going well. 5-0 Mets after five. Big hits by Grandy, Duda & Cuddy. Thor lookin' good.

Edgy MD May 17 2015 12:48 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

Go-Go, man. Ouch. That was one solid plunking.

Ashie62 May 17 2015 12:50 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

My dear lord. Noah will remember that for the rest of his life.

Ashie62 May 17 2015 12:55 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

Terry, don't pull this kid early, just don't.

Edgy MD May 17 2015 12:57 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

Keith's right. Gaard needed to come in eventually, and he didn't.

Ashie62 May 17 2015 01:00 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

Well done Noah!

Zvon May 17 2015 01:04 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

OWW. Thor hammers ex-Met Gomez in the head. Carlos looks to be okay but that was a serious shot. He'll leave the game. Syndergaard looked shaken up, but it has not effected his pitching. OE: posted this a while ago-didnt go thu

Ashie62 May 17 2015 01:06 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

I have not seen a fastball as heavy as gaard's in a long long time. Not even Harvey. imho

Edgy MD May 17 2015 01:24 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

OOOHHHH, Shelby Miller!! Golfer's name or not, I feel for you.

Ashie62 May 17 2015 01:25 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

Centeno crushed that but Lagares might have been a bit shallow with this lead.

Edgy MD May 17 2015 01:49 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

Rubbles may be a high-leverage guy pretty soon.

Robles is the new Black!

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 17 2015 04:19 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

Seems like the 1st Mets win I've seen live in a long while. And a huge difference from the Nats series where I was freezing to death; today we were too hot. I don't have much to say but Syndergaard is very good. The ball really "explodes" out of his hand and would appear to scare the crap out of the hitters, we're they not the best in the world. He might be stupid good. Very encouraging.

Is it insensitive to suggest that the plunking might ultimately be to Gaard's advantage, assuming he's able to get past it mentally (and is willing to throw inside every now and again)? I mean, intentionally or not, he's got a scalp now, y'know?

Kind of like Crash Davis telling Nuke LaLoosh to hit the bull in Bull Durham, then getting behind the plate and saying, "I wouldn't dig in there too much, Buddy, I have no idea where it's going. Really."

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 17 2015 07:40 PM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

Only, y'know, Davis is telling the next batter that, after the first batter gets hit with that Bull-decapitator and has to sit in a dark room for a week.

It's interesting in that, in past seasons, Gomez has had a rep as an insufferable jerk.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 18 2015 07:32 AM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

Gomez btw made a terrific play to rob Syndy of what looked to everyone like a double off the bat. It wasn't a spectacular play by any stretch, but he covered Lagares-like ground to get there.

Centerfield May 18 2015 07:42 AM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

I thought he had closed his Twitter account after wrestling with trolls.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 18 2015 07:45 AM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

I think I saw where his agent had taken over his account. The douchetard he tangled with also went awol I think.

Edgy MD May 18 2015 08:00 AM Re: IGT 05/17 MIL @ NYM

His feed certainly seems filtered for safe consumption.
