Thornton’s Shutout Lifts Mets | Newark News

Zac Thornton dazzled in his first major league win, tossing six scoreless innings as the Mets blanked the Brewers 4-0, snapping Milwaukee’s four-game win streak. Backed by home runs from Jared Young and Luis Robert Jr.—Robert’s 451-foot blast his first since a three-month injury layoff—the Mets offense shone. Thornton’s 18-inning scoreless streak ties a Mets rookie record set by Steven Matz in 2016. The bullpen sealed the win with three scoreless frames from Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley, and Devin Williams. For Milwaukee, Brandon Sproat struggled in his return to his old team, surrendering two runs and four walks in 4 2/3 innings, while Freddy Peralta, traded to the Mets in the same deal, gave up seven runs the night before. The Mets scored early and often, capitalizing on Sproat’s woes with two runs in the fifth and a solo shot in the eighth, while the Brewers’ late-inning chances fizzled.
