Milwaukee’s rally exacted revenge on a Mets bullpen that has looked unraveling since mid-season. A 5-0 Mets lead vanished as Manaea left after four; Reed Garrett and others attempted to strand danger, but Isaac Collins’ ninth-inning homer off Edwin Diaz sealed a brutal walk-off, capped by a 7-6 Brewers win. Diaz’s first earned run since April 23 underscored the Mets’ bullpen strain and the hard reality of their slide, dropping them to the edge of the NL Wild Card while Milwaukee, atop the league, kept the pressure on. Alonso’s 252nd homer tied the Mets legend Darryl Strawberry for first on the franchise list, while Soto, Nimmo, and Baty contributed on offense but couldn’t sustain the comeback. The Brewers’ bullpen and Collins’ late blast offered a stark contrast: power and depth winning the day even as the Mets’ lineup and relievers faltered in key moments.
