Game time announced for Milwaukee Brewers' tiebreaker game against the New York Mets on Thursday

The Milwaukee Brewers and New York Mets will play the winner-take-all third game of their wild-card series Thursday at American Family Field with a first pitch at 6:08 p.m. CT.

It's the only one of the four MLB wild-card series to make it this far. The other three all ended in 2-0 sweeps, with the Tigers besting the Astros, the Royals defeating the Orioles and the Padres taking care of the Braves.

The winner will travel to Philadelphia to face the Phillies on Oct. 5.

The wild-card format adopted in 2022 has been unkind to teams who lose the first game; the Game 1 loser is now 0-11 pending the outcome of the Brewers-Mets series. Only one other series has even reached the third and final game. The 2020 format, altered by the COVID-19 pandemic, featured eight first-round series in which two teams rallied from a 1-0 deficit to advance.

Milwaukee forced a third and final game with a thrilling win Wednesday, in which Jackson Chourio and Garrett Mitchell homered in the eighth inning for a 5-3 victory.

Tobias Myers will pitch for Milwaukee, with old nemesis Jose Quintana working for the Mets.
