The New York Mets beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 in 10 innings on Aug. 25, 2026, after Francisco Lindor made a decisive defensive play in the ninth and later scored the winning run. MLB’s game story said the Mets opened the three-game series with the extra-inning victory. The Brewers vs Mets result came after a tense final two innings.

Lindor homered earlier in the game and then made a diving catch with the bases loaded in the ninth, according to an Associated Press report carried by Fox Sports. In the 10th, his run came home on a throwing error, giving New York the walk-off result. MLB’s official game story also recorded the 3-2 final and described the late sequence.

The finish turned a tied game into a narrow home victory without a conventional walk-off hit. Milwaukee had forced extra innings after the Mets had held an advantage, but New York’s defence kept the Brewers from taking the lead in the ninth. The clubs were scheduled to meet again in the series on Aug. 26 and Aug. 27. The result does not alter those upcoming pitching matchups, but it gives the Mets an early series lead and adds another close game to the teams’ season meeting.
