Mets blank Brewers 4-0; Thornton earns first win
Zac Thornton, a 24-year-old left-hander, earned his first major-league win as the New York Mets blanked the Milwaukee Brewers 4-0, delivering six scoreless innings with three relievers combining for a four-hitter. He extended an 18-inning scoreless streak, the longest by a Mets rookie since Steven Matz in 2016. Jared Young and Luis Robert Jr. homered, with Robert’s 451-foot shot marking his first hit since returning from a back injury. Milwaukee’s Brandon Sproat took the loss, yielding two runs over 4 2/3 innings in his first game against his former team since the January trade. The Mets snapped Milwaukee’s four-game winning streak and evened the series, with Thornton exiting after six and the bullpen preserving the lead. Thornton’s performance came as his father, a former track coach who faced a life-altering health issue earlier this year, watched from the stands as the standout rookie shut down one of baseball’s best offenses.
