A wide throw home let the Mets walk off Milwaukee 3-2 on August 25, and the Brewers used the same day to designate Jonathan Ornelas for assignment.
A wide throw ends it in New York
Mets2-3Kyle Harrison gave Milwaukee five innings and allowed just one earned run on six hits with five strikeouts, and William Contreras went 3-for-4 with two doubles, but neither was enough to hold off the Mets on August 25. The Brewers fell 3-2, and per StoolBaseball, it was a throw home that went wide that let New York walk it off.
The loss dropped Milwaukee to 3-2 over its last five games and closed out the series with the Mets at two wins to three. It was the third loss in the club's last four games after a three-game sweep of the Braves that opened the stretch.

Recent News
Jake Bauers is out of the lineup for the series against the Mets with swelling in his foot, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. The first baseman is considered day-to-day, but his absence thins a bench already down bodies during a stretch run.
The roster moved again on August 25, when the Brewers designated infielder Jonathan Ornelas for assignment, per MLB Trade Rumors — just over a week after acquiring him from the Athletics. On the pitching side, both JoJo Romero (recovering from an appendectomy) and Abner Uribe (forearm) began rehab assignments at High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday, a step toward getting both relievers back in the bullpen.
Upcoming
The Brewers are in New York tonight, and it's Dustin May on the mound for the Mets against Milwaukee's Robert Stock. May is 6-8 with a 4.57 ERA and was rocked in his last outing, allowing seven earned runs on seven hits over just two innings against the Mariners. Stock, 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA, was better last time out, striking out six over 4.1 innings against the Padres without factoring into the decision.
Milwaukee is favored to close out the trip, with the total pointing to a middling-scoring game given both starters' recent shakiness. With May coming off one of his worst starts of the year, the price leans on the Brewers' lineup — which has out-hit its record over the last five games — to do more than the two rotations combined.
