Brewers Defeat Yankees 4-3 in 10th Inning to Clinch Series
The Milwaukee Brewers secured a dramatic 4-3 comeback victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday night, clinching the series with a walk-off sacrifice fly by William Contreras in the bottom of the 10th inning. Trailing 2-0 after six innings dominated by Yankees starter Cam Schlittler, the Brewers rallied against the New York bullpen. Jake Bauers hit a solo home run in the seventh to narrow the gap, while Contreras tied the game at 2-2 in the eighth with an RBI single. The Yankees briefly regained the lead in the top of the 10th on Ryan McMahon’s RBI single, making it 3-2. However, in the bottom half, errors and walks loaded the bases for Milwaukee. Contreras then delivered a deep fly ball to right field, scoring Luis Rengifo to win the game. Aaron Ashby earned his Major League-best seventh victory by pitching the final two innings for Milwaukee. Despite Schlittler’s strong performance, including six strikeouts and a lowered ERA, the Yankees’ bullpen could not hold the late lead, resulting in a series loss at American Family Field.
