  Tobias Myers, done for the night

  Handshakes and hugs in the Brewers' dugout signaled that Tobias Myers was done for Game 3.

  He had an outstanding effort, allowing just 2 hits and no walks in 5 innings with 5 strikeouts. Myers threw 66 pitches, which may raise an eyebrow among Brewers fans as to why manager Pat Murphy is taking him out.

  Trevor Magill is warming up in the Milwaukee bullpen.

  Tobias Myers, 5 scoreless innings for the Brewers

  Tobias Myers continues to anchor the Mets' lineup. Only Francisco Lindor has had a hit against him. And after he hit Jesse Winker to lead off the 5th, Myers struck out Sterling Marte and Tyrone Taylor before getting Francisco Alvarez to pop out to first base to end the top of the inning.

  No more trash talk between Jesse Winker and Willie Adams – for now

  Jesse Winker was hit by a pitch to lead off the top of the 5th. Will he and Willie Adams exchange words again when he's on base, like they did in Game 1?

  Francisco Lindor, 2-for-2

  Francisco Lindor got his second hit of the game, hitting a two-out single and going to second on a wild pitch. But Mark Vientos couldn't drive him in, flying out to right field to end the top of the third inning.

  Francisco Lindor is 2-for-2 off Tobias Myers.
  The rest of the Mets are 0-for-9.

  Mets 0, Brewers 0, mid-three.
