By STEVE MEGARGEE AP Sports Writer

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Garrett Mitchell hit a tiebreaking homer off Adam Ottavino in the ninth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the New York Mets 7-6 on Wednesday for their fifth straight victory.

Mitchell sent a 3-2 cutter from Ottavino over the right-field wall for his third homer in his past two games.

The rookie outfielder went deep twice Tuesday in a 9-0 triumph.

The Brewers swept a series of at least three games for the first time since winning three straight at Cincinnati from June 17 to 19 last season.
