NEW YORK CITY -- The season-long struggles of Brewers pitcher Marco Estrada with the long ball came into play again on Tuesday night in the Big Apple. The Mets got a two-run homer from Daniel Murphy and a grand slam from Taylor Teagarden in beating the Brewers, 6-2. Teagarden was playing in his first game of the season for the Mets.
Lyle Overbay had a pair of hits for Milwaukee, including a run-scoring double. Carlos Gomez had the other rbi.
New York, which had lost six games in row coming into this series, hosts Milwaukee again on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
