MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers couldn’t have set things up any better for themselves as they headed into the ninth inning of the deciding game in their NL Wild Card Series.
They owned a 2-0 lead over the New York Mets. They had retired 12 consecutive Mets batters. And they had two-time NL reliever of the year Devin Williams coming out of the bullpen.
Then everything fell apart in stunningly swift fashion.
Williams, who had allowed just three runs all year, gave up four in the ninth inning of a 4-2 loss that ended the Brewers’ season. Pete Alonso’s three-run homer off the All-Star closer put the Mets ahead for good.
