MILWAUKEE \u2013 The Milwaukee Brewers made it to the postseason largely because of two factors: rock-solid defense and a lockdown bullpen. <\/span>Those are also the same factors now have them facing a premature end to their postseason run. <\/span>A misplayed ball by left-fielder Jackson Chourio<\/a> led to a five-run fifth inning against three of Milwaukee\u2019s most reliable relievers as the Brewers suffered an 8-4 loss in the Game 1 of their NL Wild Card Series against the New York Mets Tuesday afternoon at American Family Field.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it’s just a little uncharacteristic of us, not making plays that we\u2019d normally make,\u201d Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins<\/a> said. \u201cObviously it’s unfortunate that it led to five runs there. Those are just the types of things that can\u2019t happen in playoff games \u2013 any games, really, but definitely in playoff games \u2013 and they took advantage of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
