Game Chat: Mets vs. Brewers, 2:10 P.M.

Sunday, August 10, 2025 • 2:10 PM
American Family Field • Milwaukee, WI
LHP Sean Manaea (1-1, 3.52) vs. RHP Quinn Priester (11-2, 3.15)
SNY

When you’re on a winning streak, everything just seems to break your way. When you’re on a losing streak, everything simply doesn’t.

Saturday night’s game may have been one of the more difficult losses of the season for the Nee York Mets who scored one run at a time for four consecutive innings. Things completely imploded in the seventh inning where Ronny Mauricio misplayed a difficult hop allowing two runs to score. The Mets thought they were out of the inning getting William Contreras to pop out but the umpire called a late pitch clock violation. Contreras got another chance and slammed a two-run home run.

Obviously, the Mets desperately need a win Sunday afternoon.

Mets Lineup

1. Francisco Lindor – SS
2. Juan Soto – RF
3. Brandon Nimmo – LF
4. Pete Alonso – 1B
5. Jeff McNeil – DH
6. Ronny Mauricio – 3B
7. Cedric Mullins – CF
8. Brett Baty – 2B
9. Luis Torrens – C

Sean Manaea has pitched 23 innings over five games this season with a 3.52 ERA, 3.54 FIP, 0.957 WHIP, and a 113 ERA+. The line for Manaea’s last start (five runs over 5 2/3) doesn’t accurately describe what happened.

Manaea was really cruising through the first five innings. He allowed no runs, producing a mix of flyouts and groundouts and barely any strikeouts. His pitch count was low and the feeling was that he would be the first pitcher not named David Peterson in over a month to give the Mets six innings. Things just fell off the rails in the fifth inning with the Cleveland Guardians scoring five runs. Hopefully, the Mets get the first five inning version of Manaea and hopefully he can go deep into the game.

The Brewers have the following numbers against him:

• William Contreras 3-9, 2B, 2 BB, 4 K
• Sal Frelick 1-4, K
• Joey Ortiz 0-4
• Blake Perkins 1-4
• Brice Turang 5-5, 2 2B
• Andrew Vaughn 1-6, 2B, BB, K
• Christian Yelich 0-6, 3 K

7. Danny Jansen – C

Priester has pitched 114 1/3 innings over 21 games (16 starts) with a 3.15 ERA, 4.01 FIP, 1.190 WHIP, and an 128 ERA+. Over his last four starts, he has a 1.75 ERA and 3.14 FIP striking out 23 batters over 25 2/3 innings.

Game Notes

The area surrounding American Family Field suffered major flooding, however, the game is still expected to get underway at the previously planned time.

The Syracuse Mets (Triple-A) are slated for a 1:05 pm ET first pitch. The game is going to be televised on SNY. Nolan McLean is set to make another start. Interestingly, Luisangel Acuña was a late scratch from the lineup.

Three Things To Watch For

1. Pete Alonso. Pete Alonso hit his 252nd career home run Saturday night, which ties the franchise record for home runs with Darryl Strawberry. He’s just one swing away from standing alone as the most feared power bat in Mets history. Alonso’s chase comes at a time where the Mets desperately need a spark.
2. Juan Soto. Soto has homered on back-to-back days six times this season. Saturday was the first time that he homered on back-to-back-to-back days. He looks to homer for a fourth-straight game Sunday afternoon. This batting line during this streak has been predictive descriptive of what’s happening to the Mets right now. In three consecutive games, he has gone 1-for-4 with a solo home run.
3. Brice Turang. Turang is 3-for-7 with two home runs and a stolen base so far this series. He is perfect against Sean Manaea going 5-for-5 with two doubles. Turang has played 14 games against the Mets slashing .354/.404/.625. For context, his career slash line is .251/.315/.350 (86 OPS+). The Mets need to find a way to contain Turang today.
