Garrett Mitchell's walk-off solo blast and a three-run homer by Joey Wiemer cap another sensational performance by Milwaukee as Brewers sweep Mets

What more can you say about these kids?

Joey Wiemer hit a big three-run home run in the second inning and fellow rookie outfielder Garrett Mitchell applied the finishing touches with a leadoff homer in the ninth to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-6 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday afternoon at American Family Field.

The homer was the third in the past two games for Mitchell and the second walkoff of Mitchell's career as the Brewers swept the Mets in the three-game series and extended their winning streak to five games.

"It was a good baseball game," said manager Craig Counsell, whose team has opened its home schedule with three straight victories for the first time since 2008.

"That's a very, very good baseball team that we just swept. To cap off a great series, to start our home season, it couldn't end in a better way."

Devin Williams (1-0) pitched a 1-2-3 ninth, giving the Brewers' bullpen 4 ⅔ scoreless, hitless innings behind starter Corbin Burnes, who struggled for the second time in as many starts.

BOX SCORE: Brewers 7, Mets 6

Adam Ottovino took the mound for the Mets in the bottom of the ninth with Mitchell sitting in a 2-2 count before going down and getting a cutter that he was able to pull 387 feet out to right, sparking a mad celebration on the infield in the aftermath.

"It’s kind of like we talked about last year with the other walkoff – you play some of these moments in your head," said Mitchell, referring to his first career walkoff, a single to beat the New York Yankees in the ninth last Sept. 16 in Milwaukee.

The walkoff homer was the Brewers' first since Keston Hiura went deep on Aug. 29 last season against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

"You want to be up in those types of moments," Mitchell continued. "I go up there with nothing to lose and try to take control.”

New York, which entered the day having been outscored, 19-0, in the series, broke its drought only three batters in after Burnes plunked Starling Marte in the hand and Francisco Lindor drove him in with a double.

Milwaukee came right back and grabbed the lead with another one of its youngsters factoring in heavily.

A one-out walk drawn by Brian Anderson against David Peterson got the rally started. Jesse Winker doubled and Owen Miller pulled a single past a diving Lindor at shortstop to get the Brewers on the board.

Then, on Anderson's next offering, Wiemer went with a 93-mph fastball up in the zone and sent it into the Mets bullpen in right-center for a three-run homer and a 4-1 lead.

Wiemer, like Turang following his grand slam in Monday's home opener, took a curtain call in the aftermath.

"First-pitch fastball up and out," Wiemer said. "Put a good swing on it and got it out of here."

But Wiemer's homer was far from the knockout blow Turang's was as the Mets came right back with three runs in the third on a Lindor RBI single and two-run homer to right-center by Alonso.

It remained 4-4 until the fifth when, after a terrific diving catch in center by Wiemer to rob Marte, Lindor doubled and Alonso homered to left-center to put New York back in front, 6-4.

Burnes followed up by walking Daniel Vogelbach, at which point Counsell pulled the plug. He generated only five swings and misses in his 93 pitches.

Through 9 ⅓ innings in two starts this season, Burnes has allowed 11 hits, 10 earned runs and four walks with six strikeouts while compiling a WHIP of 1.61.

"We had a good work week this week to get back out there and try to figure out what's going on," Burnes said. "For the most part, everything's doing what we want. We're just not getting the swing and miss and making mistakes at the wrong time."

But as has been the case so far this season, Milwaukee's offense pushed all the right buttons to answer again.

Christian Yelich got things started with a leadoff walk then went to third on a one-out single by Luke Voit.

Voit then stole second base -- the second of his career -- and it turned out to be a terrific move when Winker lined a two-out, two-run double to the gap in right-center to tie the game at 6-6.
