Mets, behind Thornton and Lindor, beat Brewers in extras

The Mets got yet another quality start of our their young pitching tonight, with Zac Thornton continuing his improbable run of success. Over six runs, Thornton didn't walk a batter, allowed seven hits, induced two ground ball double plays, and struck out four. He worked himself out of trouble, he limited damage, and he continues to look like he absolutely belongs in the big leagues after being nowhere near anyone's radar at season's start.

His most impressive inning might've been the third, which started out with two straight base hits to the left side of the infield. A comebacker to the mound resulted in the first out coming at third base. A fly ball and a groundout got Thornton out of the inning and was another's illustration of how he's able to buckle down and not let game circumstances get the best of him.

The only blemish against him came in the fourth inning, when William Contreras led off the inning with a double and was driven in by a two-out single by Luis Lara.
