The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to complete a clean sweep of the New York Yankees in their interleague series this Sunday afternoon at American Family Field. After a dramatic walk-off win in extra innings on Saturday, the Brewers are riding high and aiming for a third straight victory over the Bronx Bombers.
Right-hander Logan Henderson (0-1, 4.50 ERA) will take the mound for Milwaukee, while the Yankees counter with left-hander Carlos Rodón, who is making his season debut. The pitching matchup sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting finale to the series.
Saturday's game was a thriller, with the Brewers securing a 4-3 victory in the 10th inning. William Contreras delivered the game-winning sacrifice fly, sending Luis Rengifo home and sparking a celebration at home plate. Contreras was immediately doused by teammates Jackson Chourio and Garrett Mitchell in a moment that captured the team's energy and resilience.
The game featured several key moments that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Brice Turang tied the game in the eighth inning with a heads-up slide into home plate, just beating the tag from Yankees catcher Austin Wells. Turang also swiped second base earlier in the inning, putting himself in scoring position for Contreras's RBI single that knotted the score at 3-3.
Jake Bauers got the Brewers on the board with a solo home run in the seventh inning, while reliever Aaron Ashby was a standout on the mound. Ashby allowed just one run on two hits over the 10th inning, striking out three and earning his team-leading seventh win of the season.
Manager Pat Murphy was all smiles as he watched his team battle back from a late deficit, a testament to the Brewers' never-say-die attitude. With the sweep within reach, Milwaukee is poised to make a statement against one of baseball's most storied franchises.
