He walked one and struck out three, helping the Brewers snap a three-game skid.Tyler Thornburg picked up his fourth save in eight chances with a perfect ninth.Carter connected on a 1-2 pitch from starter Joel De la Cruz (0-5) during a four-run third.

Counsell, a former teammate of Fielders in Milwaukee, had the same injury, treated with the same surgery by the same doctor.The game really never lets anybody go when they completely want to, Counsell said. For him, he should still be in the middle of a great career.

That was more than two runs per game above his previous major league high.While Harveys fastball velocity dropped only slightly, by 1 mph to 95 mph, he repeatedly said he was working on changes to his mechanics. He adjusted his arm angle and the rotation of his lower half. Mets manager Terry Collins cited a lack of command with Harveys breaking balls.As the season went on, he complained of the fact that command of his pitches was not nearly the same, Boras said Wednesday at the general managers annual meeting.Mets GM Sandy Alderson says the 27-year-old right-hander will be ready for spring training. Boras said Dr. Robert Thompson, who performed the operation, explained what Harvey went through.You dont really notice or think to notice that the sensation in your fingertips is dull. Only when you get that full-fledged tingling do you know somethings wrong, Boras said. It will affect something about your rrelease point, where you dont have the same sensation you do normally.ddddddddddddHarvey, who missed the 2014 season following Tommy John surgery, is 29-28 with a 2.94 ERA in four big league seasons. Boras said he visited Harvey in New York recently and expects him to be at full strength next year.Theres nothing about shoulders, elbows or anything, the agent said. Its just really getting that nerve free and clear so that it cannot be impacted by the muscle.At past MLB meetings, Boras used metaphors involving supermarket aisles to describe the Mets spending -- fruits and nuts in 2011 vs. freezer section in 2012 vs. ready foods in 2014. New York boosted payroll from about $110 million in 2015 to roughly $150 million this year, so Boras switched to different imagery as he spoke in the sun-lit courtyard of a hotel with Camelback Mountain as a backdrop.To finish the lap in the pool, youve always got to swim in the deep end to get back to the shallow end, and the deep end is a place now that the Mets are regularly visiting, and I think theyve got a good chance of completing their lap, he said. Ive kind of taken it to the resort dynamic. ' ' '
