“We answered the bell,” New York first baseman Pete Alonso said during the team’s playoff victory celebration on Monday. “We have earned the right to play in the postseason. Now we have a great opportunity in front of us.”

Milwaukee gave up five runs with two outs in the fifth inning and lost 8-4 to the New York Mets in the opening game of the NL Wild Card Series on Tuesday. The Brewers now need to win two straight to keep their season alive and advance to the Division Series in Philadelphia.

“As we’ve said all year, we’re fearless,” shortstop Willy Adames said. “We’re going to come out tomorrow and give 100% on the field.”

The Brewers are making their sixth playoff appearance in seven years, but have not won a postseason series since 2018, when they earned a victory in the World Series before losing at home to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the NL Championship Series . Since that loss, the Brewers have lost 10 of their last 11 playoff games. They led by multiple runs in each of their last four postseason games, only to lose them all.
