Mets top Brewers 3-2 behind Nimmo, Soto and Peterson

NEW YORK (AP) — Brandon Nimmo homered again, Juan Soto came through with a tiebreaking single and the New York Mets held off the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Thursday night.

David Peterson (6-4) rebounded from a pair of rough starts, tossing 6 2/3 effective innings to give New York’s injury-ravaged rotation a much-needed boost.

Pete Alonso added an RBI double as the Mets took two of three from Milwaukee — just as they did in their Wild Card Series during the National League playoffs last October.Next stop, the second Subway Series of the season against the crosstown-rival New York Yankees.

Fans in the sellout crowd of 42,241 received replica Soto jerseys on Fireworks Night, and the $765 million slugger gave New York a 2-1 lead in the sixth when he grounded an RBI single off hard-luck loser Jose Quintana (6-3), who spent the past two seasons with the Mets.
