Mets fall season-high 8 games under .500 as Wiemer's 2-run homer gives Brewers 2-1 win
Buck Showalter's solution for his struggling New York Mets seems simple enough. The Mets fell a season-worst eight games under .500 after Joey Wiemer hit a go-ahead, two-run homer to straightaway centerfield in the sixth inning that lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 2-1 victory on Monday night. New York, which won 101 games and shared the NL East title last year in Showalter’s first season, is 35-43 despite entering the season with a major league record $355 million payroll.
