A couple of batters after Pete Alonso's three-run homer gave the Mets a 3–2 lead, Starling Marte batted Winker home on an RBI single. After crossing the plate and giving New York a two-run cushion, Winker was so fired up he removed his helmet and promptly smashed it on the ground with both hands in celebration.

Jesse Winker couldn’t contain his emotions when he crossed the plate to extend the Mets’ slim lead to 4-2 in the top of the ninth against the Brewers. With Winker on second base, Starling Marte hit a single to right field that allowed Winker — who became a villain during this series for his back-and-forth with Willy Adames in Game 1 — to score and the fired-up Met couldn’t control himself.
