Brewers Hit Two Homers Off Phil Maton to Win Game 2
Came out of nowhere, huh?
When you understand astronomy and numerology, there are no true mysteries in sports. Consider how there are 254 Sidereal months (Lunar orbits) in the Metonic cycle.
I grew up as one of the most loyal Milwaukee Brewer fans in existence. Despite what I know about these sports leagues, it’s impossible for me not to root for my home city. But given how solid this riddle is, I saw it as my duty to put my fandom aside and talk about this. Also see my other post exploring the Skull and Bones code:

The Metonic Cycle
Notice the name of the pitcher – Phil Maton. This is a nod to the major Metonic cycle riddle that exists within the numbers of the Mets and Brewers. In fact, I documented this connection back in 2019 in this post about an 18-inning game between these same two teams.
The Metonic cycle is named after Greek astronomer Meton of Athens. Milwaukee is known as the German Athens of America. Athens, Greece is the birthplace of NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who led Milwaukee to an NBA championship.
Jackson Chourio hit not one, but two game-tying home runs in this game.
The Mets are back in Milwaukee, Wisconsin following the death of Pete Rose. See my post from the other day to learn more about that link.
Recall how Pete Rose = 155 died on 9/30, the same date the Reds (his former team) finished their 155th season of pro baseball.
Phil Maton surrendered two home runs in the 8th inning, which blew the team’s lead. They came off the bats of Garrett Mitchell and Jackson Chourio.
Metonic cycle has Latin gematria of 668.
The Moon is always of utmost importance when the Mets play the Brewers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The current General Manager of the Mets is David Stearns, who was previous the Brewers’ GM. He was born on February 18th, or 2/18. Moon = 218 (Hebrew).
This is not the first time Garrett Mitchell has broken the Mets’ backs. In April of 2023, he hit a walk-off home run against them in the same ballpark.
Game 2 was exactly 17 months, 4 weeks after Garrett’s 2023 walk-off and 174 days before Phil Maton’s birthday:
This is the number Meton of Athens shares in Greek and English.
Meton was Greek, and in Greek Isopsephy, his name sums to 1465.
Metonic cycle has Standard gematria of 1108.
11×8 = 88
Phil Maton wears # 88
He blew the game in the 8th inning
88 is a number significant to Lunar and Solar cycles:
Game 2 was a span of 8 days before Yale’s anniversary
More Notes
The United States is currently 248 years old. Meton of Athens has gematria of 248, syncing up with Maton’s full and last names.
Games 2 and 3 are also numerically-synced to the 18-inning game between the Mets and Brewers I referenced earlier. In my post on that game, I pointed out how the Brewers picked up their 19th win of the ’19 season. The Metonic cycle is 19 years long, and the 19th Prime number is 67.
