Start with Carlos Carrasco’s ineffectiveness and move to a Mets lineup that produced only three hits and you have the recipe for a 10-0 loss in the Brewers’ home opener.
MILWAUKEE — The Mets were flat, and that was even before it turned ugly Monday.
Carrasco got knocked out in the fifth and the Brewers piled on against Tommy Hunter, ending the suspense on this day even before the sausage race was run. The Mets have scored one run total in their two losses this season. Carrasco’s final line over four-plus innings included five earned runs allowed on four hits and four walks with four strikeouts. He was removed at 96 pitches after walking Christian Yelich and Jesse Winker in succession to begin the fifth.
Brian Anderson jumped on an 89 mph fastball from Carrasco in the fourth inning for a two-run homer that extended the Brewers’ lead to 3-0. Carrasco got two quick outs in the inning before Garrett Mitchell singled and Anderson cleared the center-field fence.
