- Despite the injury, May expressed optimism about making his next start, noting no structural damage and feeling better after initial discomfort.
- Robert Gasser replaced May and delivered an impressive relief performance, pitching 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball in his first major league relief appearance.
- The Brewers' bullpen, including Grant Anderson and Bryse Wilson, combined to shut out the Mets over the final innings, helping Milwaukee secure an 8-1 victory.
