The Mets jumped out to a 5-1 lead but Jonathon Niese could not hold the Brewers and they tied the game at five after four innings. Nelson Figueroa gave up the hit that tied the game, but the Mets bullpen was not charged with a run all night. That allowed the New York offense to generate a run in the tenth to win the game 6-5. Overall, not a bad night for a beleaguered bullpen. They combined to walk three and strike out seven. The Mets maintain their lead on Philadelphia, but the Phillies gain the Brewers in the Wild Card race.
