Brandon Nimmo of the Mets learned that Grandmother died shortly before the game

Amid the champagne-soaked celebrations in the clubhouse after the Mets' stunning 4-2 comeback win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, Nimmo told reporters that he learned his grandmother had died about an hour before the game began.

“What puts it into perspective is that you can’t take any of it with you when you’re gone,” Nimmo said. “And moments like that, experiences like that – that’s what life is about.”

Nimmo said he hadn't told anyone on the team and that his grandmother had gone to the hospital the day before.

Nimmo had a game-tying hit in the Mets' ninth-inning rally, setting up Pete Alonso's go-ahead three-run home run that gave New York its first postseason series win since 2015.
