MILWAUKEE (AP) --- William Contreras singled home the tying run in the eighth
inning and hit a game-ending sacrifice fly in the 10th as the Milwaukee Brewers
rallied past the New York Yankees 4-3 on Saturday.
The Yankees wasted a brilliant performance from Cam Schlittler and have lost
back-to-back games for the first time since they dropped five in a row from
April 8-12. On Friday, they got just three hits against Milwaukee's Jacob
Misiorowski and Shane Drohan in a 6-0 defeat.
Paul Goldschmidt hit a leadoff homer and drove in two runs for the Yankees.
Jake Bauers went deep for Milwaukee.
Schlittler got struck in the left calf by a 108.5 mph liner off the bat of
Contreras in the first but stayed in the game and allowed two hits in six
scoreless innings, lowing his major league-leading ERA to 1.35.
After Ryan McMahon's two-out RBI single on an 0-2 pitch from Aaron Ashby (7-0)
put New York ahead 3-2 in the top of the 10th, Milwaukee scored twice in the
bottom half to give Ashby the major league lead in wins.
Jackson Chourio's one-out infield single off Fernando Cruz (3-1) tied it and
put runners at first and second.
Tim Hill entered and got a weak grounder from Brice Turang. The lefty reliever
tried to throw out the lead runner at third, but his throw hit Luis Rengifo in
the left hand, loading the bases.
Contreras followed with a fly ball to right that easily brought home Rengifo.
Bauers got Milwaukee on the board in the seventh with a 420-foot shot to
right-center off Brent Headrick. Turang hit a two-out single off Camilo Doval
in the eighth, stole second and slid home on Contreras' single to left.
Yankees right-hander Luis Gil has been placed on the injured list at Triple-A
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with shoulder inflammation. The 2024 AL rookie of the
year isn't expected to throw for three weeks.
Up next
Seven months after undergoing elbow surgery, Carlos Rodn makes his season
debut for the Yankees on Sunday. Logan Henderson (0-1, 4.50 ERA) starts for the
Brewers.
