Rhys Hoskins threw a couple haymakers in the form of a two-run single and two-run homer, and the Mets threw a pitch behind him.
The Brewers slugger and Mets tormenter ducked under a 94-mph fastball from Yohan Ramirez in the seventh inning of a 7-6 Milwaukee win at Citi Field , the culmination of a growing feud after Friday’s fracas over a controversial slide at second base .
All game, there was wonder whether the Mets would respond to Hoskins’ late slide that infuriated Jeff McNeil and caused the dugouts and bullpens to empty a day prior.
Luis Severino did not buzz Hoskins — and could not get him out — but the drama escalated with Ramirez on the mound.
