“#Mets settle for split after getting blanked in nightcap<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Mets\u2019 fountain of late-inning magic only stayed open for one half of their doubleheader Wednesday.<\/p>\n

After clinching a series<\/a> victory in the opener with a dramatic extra-inning comeback, the Mets could not complete the sweep after falling to the Brewers in the nightcap, 5-0, at Citi Field.<\/p>\n

It looked like the Mets (45-38) might have another late rally in them in the sixth inning, trailing 3-0, when Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil led off with pinch-hit walks against Brad Boxberger. Jonathan Villar then drew a four-pitch walk to load the bases, with the crowd rising to its feet and the go-ahead run coming to the plate.<\/p>\n

But the inning fizzled from there. Francisco Lindor, Dominic Smith and Pete Alonso struck out in three straight at-bats to end the threat.<\/p>\n

Luis Urias, who had taken Jacob deGrom deep to lead off Game 1, then crushed a two-run homer off the scuffling Miguel Castro in the top of the seventh to push the Brewers\u2019 lead to 5-0.<\/p>\n

The Mets had used a game-tying home run from Jose Peraza and a walk-off, two-run single from Jeff McNeil to win Game 1, 4-3, but could not repeat the feat in Game 2. Instead they were blanked by starter Brett Anderson and the Brewers\u2019 bullpen.<\/p>\n
