NEW YORK — The Mets‘ series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers began as a pitcher’s duel, with both starters holding the score at 1-1 going into the sixth inning.

But in the bottom of the sixth, Juan Soto’s ground-ball RBI single broke the tie and Pete Alonso’s double off the center-field wall made it 3-1. The sudden jolt led to a 3-2 win over the Brewers Thursday night at Citi Field.

Before then, Jose Quintana held his former team to three hits and one run — a Brandon Nimmo solo shot in the second. He allowed no walks and kept a decent pitch count throughout the start. But three consecutive hits in the sixth doomed Quintana. And Soto’s go-ahead RBI single knocked the left-hander out of the game.

Quintana was pulled after six hits, three earned runs and three strikeouts over 80 pitches in 5 1/3 innings of work.

He was replaced by reliever Nick Mears, who gave up Alonso’s RBI double afterwards.

David Peterson was the better starter on Thursday, six days after he allowed five earned runs against the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates.

Peterson allowed just two runs — an RBI infield single to Caleb Durbin in the fourth and homer to Andruw Monasterio in the seventh — over 6 2/3 innings of work.

The lefty also gave up five hits, three walks and struck out four over 103 pitches.

Relievers Ryne Stanek and Edwin Diaz held the Brewers to one hit over the final 2 1/3 innings.

The Mets collected their second consecutive win after waiting out a 35-minute delay due to impending weather around Citi Field.

It was well worth the wait, as the Mets got back on the right track after getting embarrassed in a series sweep against the Pirates last weekend.
