why they are in last place in the N.L. Central. The Brewers gave the New York
Mets three unearned runs in an inning in which only one ball left the infield,
committed three errors, and had two runners thrown out at the plate and another
at third. Milwaukee pitchers also issued eight walks, hit one batter and threw
two wild pitches in an ugly 12-5 loss to the Mets on Friday night. The Brewers
wasted a stellar performance by Carlos Gomez in which he had four hits --
including two RBI doubles -- and made a leaping grab above the centre-field wall
to take away a home run from pinch-hitter Marlon Byrd in the seventh inning. "We
sure didnt play well today," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "We didnt pitch
well today, we didnt play well defensively today. We swung the bats OK. "I
messed up, too, on a play. So nothing went right." Kirk Nieuwenhuis drove in a
career-best five runs for New York with his first four-hit game. He had a
triple, a double, two singles and two walks. Nieuwenhuis, who entered the game
hitting .179 in 56 at-bats after being recalled from Triple A Las Vegas on June
9, raised his average to .233. He became the first Mets player to reach base six
times in a nine-inning game since Mike Piazza did it on May 27, 2000.
"Tremendous night for Kirk Nieuwenhuis," Mets manager Terry Collins said.
"Absolutely tremendous night. He picked us up." The Mets hustled their way to
three unearned runs in the second inning for a 5-2 lead, despite hitting only
one ball out of the infield. Omar Quintanilla drew a leadoff walk and advanced
on Zack Wheelers sacrifice bunt. Quintanilla moved to third, and Eric Young
reached on an error by shortstop Jean Segura. Daniel Murphys high chopper back
to the mound was gloved by 6-foot-9 starter Johnny Hellweg, but Quintanilla
dived back to third ahead of Hellwegs throw as Murphy reached to load the bases.
"I kind of had a little lapse of judgment right there," said Hellweg (0-2), who
allowed seven runs -- three earned -- seven hits and five walks in 3 2-3 innings
"As soon as the ball came back to me, I felt like there was just a guy at third.
"I just spaced on the guy being at first when the ball got back to me. It wasnt
the right play." Mets first baseman Ike Davis, in his first game since being
recalled from a minor league stint, then drove in a run with a slow-rolling
single to Segura. After David Wright lined out to first, Nieuwenhuis grounded a
two-run single to right just past the glove of diving second baseman Rickie
Weeks. "That is how you win at this level," Collins said. "If you are going to
have games where teams are going to give you outs, you better take advantage of
it." Wheeler (2-1) gave up three runs and seven hits and walked three in five
shaky innings. He struggled in his two previous starts since pitching six
shutout innings in his major league debut. The Mets made it 7-2 in the fourth
with the aid of another error. Wright walked to open the inning and came around
on singles by Davis and Nieuwenhuis. Davis scored from third on a two-out error
by third baseman Aramis Ramirez. The Brewers loaded the bases with one out in
the fifth inning, but Wheeler escaped when catcher Jonathan Lucroy flied to
shallow centre and Juan Francisco struck out looking. "Im part of that. I popped
out. Im guilty of that," Lucroy said. "We let him off the hook. You have to take
advantage of the situations, and when you dont thats when you get beat like
that." Nieuwenhuis accounted for another run in the sixth when he walked, stole
second, took third on a wild pitch and scored on John Bucks single. He doubled
in the eighth and scored on Juan Lagares single to make it 9-4. Nieuwenhuis
tripled in another run in the Mets three-run ninth. Francisco opened the fourth
with his 11th home run to trim it to 7-3. The Brewers scored single runs in the
seventh and eighth on RBI doubles by Gomez and Logan Schafer. Hellwegs wildness
helped the Mets score twice in the first. Young singled to open the game and
moved to third on Wrights one-out single to right. Hellweg then issued
consecutive walks to Davis, who entered hitting .161, and Nieuwenhuis to force
in a run. Wright scored on Lagares fielders choice. Milwaukee answered with two
unearned runs in the bottom of the inning on an RBI double by Gomez and a
sacrifice fly by Ramirez. It was the second consecutive rough start for Hellweg,
who was rocked for seven runs in 1 2-3 innings in his first major league start
on June 28. He had gone 6-0 with a 1.64 ERA in his last seven starts at Triple A
Nashville before being called up by the Brewers. "The potential he has is the
stuff that he has," Roenicke said. "He has a great fastball, a real good moving
fastball. Hes got a nice breaking ball. But he has to command those pitches.
Unless you can command them in the big leagues, youre not going to do well."
NOTES: Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, on the disabled list with an injured right
thumb, took swings in the indoor cage Friday. "I havent talked to him since he
swung. I talked to (third base coach) Ed Sedar and he said he swung the bat real
well. I just havent asked Ryan how the hand felt," Roenicke said. Braun is
scheduled to take batting practice on the field Saturday and Monday. When Braun
is ready to be activated, he wont be sent on a rehab assignment, Roenicke said.
