MILWAUKEE — – Zac Thornton<\/a> earned his first career win by combining with three relievers on a four-hitter as the New York Mets<\/a> blanked the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> 4-0 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Jared Young<\/a> and Luis Robert Jr<\/a>. homered to help the Mets snap Milwaukee’s four-game winning streak. Robert’s solo shot off Bryse Wilson<\/a> in the eighth was a titanic 451-foot drive<\/a> to left-center for his first hit since missing nearly three months with a back injury.<\/a><\/p>\n

Backed by terrific defense, Thornton (1-1) allowed three hits and one walk while striking out two over six innings in his fourth major league start. It was the second consecutive scoreless outing for the 24-year-old left-hander, who has thrown 18 straight shutout innings – the longest streak by a Mets rookie since Steven Matz went 19 innings in 2016.<\/p>\n

Luke Weaver<\/a>, Brooks Raley<\/a> and Devin Williams<\/a> each pitched one inning of relief.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee’s Brandon Sproat<\/a> (3-5) yielded two runs over 4 2\/3 innings while facing his former team for the first time since getting sent to Milwaukee in the January trade<\/a> that brought pitcher Freddy Peralta<\/a> to the Mets. Sproat struck out four but allowed four hits and four walks.<\/p>\n

The right-hander was pitching one night after Peralta faced the Brewers for the first time and gave up seven runs over 5 1\/3 innings in an 8-3 loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Young put the Mets ahead in the second by sending a 393-foot shot<\/a> over the right-field wall.<\/p>\n

Sproat was removed after issuing a two-out walk to Bo Bichette<\/a> in the fifth with the Mets leading 1-0. Chad Patrick<\/a> entered and allowed back-to-back doubles on the ground to Francisco Lindor<\/a> and Carson Benge<\/a>, with Benge’s hit bringing home two runs.<\/p>\n

The Brewers’ best scoring chance came in the sixth, when they failed to capitalize after Cooper Pratt<\/a> and Joey Ortiz<\/a> opened the inning with consecutive singles.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

New York’s Christian Scott<\/a> (3-1, 2.97 ERA) and Milwaukee’s Logan Henderson<\/a> (3-1, 2.97) are the scheduled starting pitchers in the series finale Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
