"Eric's back. He's clearly in a good place", Brewers manager Craig Counsell said after his team won for just the third time in 10 games. Was I ever tempted to respond in kind? Thames went 63 plate appearances in between homers, a stretch in which he batted.163 with two RBIs while battling a hamstring injury and strep throat. "That's what it feels like?" He also singled and scored the Diamondbacks' first run as he improved to 5-0 in nine games against the Marlins.

Sogard then hit into a double play. Sogard made his lone out in the seventh by lining to left immediately before Thames drew a walk.

Plawecki said it was a prank by his teammates.

Mets reliever Jerry Blevins said he'd seen a lot during his long career, but never any mascot mayhem like this. The umpires told Collins and Wheeler that unintentional interference by a ball boy, by rule, does not result in an out call.

The Brewers' usual leadoff hitter is reigning National League stolen base champion Jonathan Villar, but Counsell isn't about to mess with success. Mrs Met has yet to comment on her husband's behavior on Wednesday night.

Iran makes more arrests after Tehran attacks
Tehran police said the vehicle the attackers used on Wednesday was discovered on Saturday in the city centre. Iran said the attackers, who were all killed, had fought for the IS group in Syria and neighbouring Iraq.

"Let me tell you something", Stewart said while departing a restaurant in NY. Players like Travis Shaw and Eugenio Suarez might have seemed like intriguing trade options heading into the season, but with both the Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds playing surprisingly well and with the Mets nearly 10 games back from the Nationals, it is becoming increasingly more likely that a long-term solution to this problem will not come until at least this upcoming offseason. Travis Shaw added two hits.

Flores later hit a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning, but the Brewers held on for a 2-1 victory to earn a four-game split.

"I was just bad tonight". He will, the New York Post reports, still have a job with the team.

It happened in the top of the fourth inning of this afternoon's Brewers-Mets tilt. I was always terrified that as soon as parents placed their most precious cargo in my oversized, four-fingered hands, that would be the moment some inebriated fan would decide to tackle me from behind.

Josh Edgin came in to replace deGrom in the fifth and performed excellently, tossing three scoreless innings with three strikeouts. And as an organization, it behooves you to avoid headaches - like the one the Mets are now suffering - by making sure your hiring practices are thorough. This was his 16th game for the Brewers, and the leadoff man is hitting.410.
