The New York Yankees' trip to Milwaukee turned into a weekend to forget. On Sunday afternoon, the Brewers completed a dominant three-game sweep, capped by Brice Turang's walk-off home run off David Bednar in a thrilling 4-3 victory.
The game was deadlocked at three when Turang stepped to the plate and delivered the decisive blow, sending the Milwaukee crowd into a frenzy. The Brewers had earlier seized control with a three-run fourth inning against Carlos Rodon, setting the stage for their dramatic finish.
Rodon, making his season debut after recovering from left elbow surgery, showed understandable rust. The veteran southpaw worked 4 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on two hits while striking out four and issuing five walks—a performance that highlighted the challenges of returning to game action.
The Yankees showed flashes of offensive firepower. Aaron Judge kicked things off with his 16th home run of the season, giving New York an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. Rookie Spencer Jones notched his first MLB hit and RBI in the second, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. delivered the biggest blow, tying the game at 3-3 with a clutch hit in the top of the sixth.
But those bright spots weren't enough to overcome Milwaukee's resilience. The Bombers left Wisconsin empty-handed, their bats silenced when it mattered most.
Now, New York turns the page quickly. They'll head to Baltimore on Monday for a critical three-game series against the Orioles, sitting alone in second place in the AL East behind the Tampa Bay Rays. Ryan Weathers gets the ball for Aaron Boone's club as they look to shake off the sweep and regain their footing in the division race.
