<p>NEW YORK (AP) — Brandon Nimmo homered again, Juan Soto came through with a tiebreaking single and the New York Mets held off the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Thursday night.</p>
<p>David Peterson (6-4) rebounded from a pair of rough starts, tossing 6 2/3 effective innings to give New York's injury-ravaged rotation a much-needed boost.</p>
<p>Pete Alonso added an RBI double as the Mets took two of three from Milwaukee — just as they did in their Wild Card Series during the National League playoffs last October.</p>
<p>Next stop, the second Subway Series of the season against the crosstown-rival New York Yankees.</p>
<p>Fans in the sellout crowd of 42,241 received replica Soto jerseys on Fireworks Night, and the $765 million slugger gave New York a 2-1 lead in the sixth when he grounded an RBI single off hard-luck loser Jose Quintana (6-3), who spent the past two seasons with the Mets.</p>
<p>Alonso then drove the first pitch from reliever Nick Mears off the left-center fence for a double that made it 3-1.</p>
<p>Andruw Monasterio hit his first homer this year off Peterson in the seventh, but the Mets hung on for their second consecutive victory after losing 14 of 17.</p>
<p>Ryne Stanek got four straight outs, ending the eighth with a primal scream after striking out all three batters in the inning.</p>
<p>Edwin Díaz fanned two in a scoreless ninth for his 18th save in 19 opportunities.</p>
<p>Nimmo, who hit a grand slam Wednesday night off Brewers rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski, connected for a solo shot in the second to put New York in front. Caleb Durbin tied it with a run-scoring infield single in the fourth.</p>
<p>The first pitch was delayed 37 minutes by rain.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>Díaz gave up a one-out single in the ninth to pinch-hitter Christian Yelich, who then got caught stealing. Yelich was initially ruled safe at second base before the call was overturned following a replay review.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>Soto, the NL player of the month for June, began the night batting only .145 with runners in scoring position.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>Milwaukee RHP Quinn Priester (6-2, 3.35 ERA) starts Friday night in Miami against RHP Sandy Alcantara (4-8, 6.98), the 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner.</p>
<p>The Mets were undecided on a starter for their Subway Series opener against the Yankees at Citi Field.</p>
