Miller Park hosted its longest game ever Saturday, and the host team won it. The Brewers managed to top the Mets 4-3 in 18 innings.

Ryan Braun sealed the deal for Milwaukee with a two-run, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 18th after the Mets had taken a one-run lead in the top of the inning.

The left fielder totaled a career-high six hits in eight at-bats in the contest.

Mets rookie first baseman Pete Alonso hit the game's only home run, a game-tying solo shot in the ninth inning. He finished with two hits.

The Brewers (19-16) have won the first two games of their weekend series with the Mets (16-17). They sit in third place in the NL Central. New York is third in the NL East.

Studs of the Night

Michael Chavis belted two home runs in the Red Sox's 15-2 drubbing of the White Sox.

Alex Bregman hit two home runs in the Astros' 14-2 win over the Angels in Monterrey, Mexico.

Manny Machado sent two balls sailing over the fence against the Dodgers in the Padres' 7-6 loss.

Duds of the Night

Dee Gordon was hitless in four at-bats in the Mariners' 5-4 loss to the Indians.

Jorge Polanco didn't get a hit in five at-bats as his Twins topped the Yankees 7-3.

Highlight

Giants center fielder Kevin Pillar scaled a wall to save a home run.

What's Next?

Dodgers (22-13) at Padres (18-16), 4:10 p.m. ET — Los Angeles held off San Diego on Saturday despite those Machado home runs. The Dodgers sit atop the NL West but the Padres are just 3 1/2 games back.
