    Eric Thames sent a first-inning changeup from Jacob deGrom into the bullpen in right-center , 436 feet from home plate, for a two-run homer.

    Thames hit his 13th home run on May 9. Slowed by a hamstring injury and strep throat, it took him three weeks to hit No. 14.

    "I almost, like, dropped to my knees. That's what it feels like, to actually hit a barrel," Thames said after the Milwaukee Brewers' 7-1 win over the New York Mets on Wednesday night. "The last three weeks, I'd get fastballs, I'd swing -- foul ball or off the end."
