Brewers on the brink of another early playoff exit after their bullpen crumbles in 8-4 loss to Mets

Associated Press  

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers blew another lead in a playoff game, and now they’re on the verge of another early postseason exit. “We’re going to come out tomorrow and give 100% out there on the field.” The Brewers are making their sixth playoff appearance in seven years, but they haven’t won a postseason series since 2018, when they were one win from the World Series before losing at home to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the NL Championship Series. “Things kind of spiraled from there.” Ashby came on for Payamps at that point, and didn’t retire any of the five batters he faced as the Mets built their 8-4 lead. “Really, it was emotional for both teams.” The twist is, the Brewers’ season ended last year when they arguably left Peralta in a game too long.
