Brewers 4, Yankees 3: Brice Turang walks it off for Milwaukee

It was a weekend for walk-offs at American Family Field.

Brice Turang belted a two-out home run off David Bednar in the ninth inning to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to their second straight walk-off victory over the New York Yankees, 4-3, with this one punctuating another memorable Mother's Day for the team with the best overall record in the major leagues on the holiday.

Turang's big swing capped a three-game sweep of their big-market interleague opponent, the Brewers’ first of at least three games over the Yankees since Aug. 14-16, 1989 at County Stadium, and it came just a day after William Contreras's sacrifice fly won it in 10 innings for Milwaukee, also by a score of 4-3.

"We play our style of game, it's hard to beat us," Turang said. "Our pitching staff was unreal (six runs allowed in 28 innings). What they did for us this series was really good. It's fun playing behind them. It's a luxury.

"These guys are going out there, throwing the ball well and keeping us in games and giving us an opportunity to win and we're taking advantage of it."

Bednar struck out Joey Ortiz and Jackson Chourio to open the bottom of the ninth before hanging a curveball that Turang jumped all over and sent 411 feet out to straightaway center field.

"I've faced him a good amount of times," Turang said of Bednar, who spent most of his career with the Central Division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates. "I was getting ready for a heater but I was telling myself if I see the curveball make sure I stay back – there's a big speed difference in it, and it's a good one.

"I just wanted to stay back but I was ready to hit the heater, and I saw (the curveball) and took off on it."

It was a moment similar to one 20 years ago, when Bill Hall hit a walk-off homer in the 10th inning to beat the New York Mets at then-Miller Park.

And in an interesting twist, both players were sporting No. 2 when they did it.

The walk-off homer was the first for Turang in the major leagues and the second of his professional career.

Milwaukee is now 22-16 and a season-high-tying six games over .500.

Logan Henderson started and pitched five strong innings before handing the game over to the bullpen. DL Hall, Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby and Abner Uribe followed Henderson, with Uribe (2-1) picking up the win.

The Brewers scored three times in the fourth inning to take the lead before Hall allowed the Yankees to tie it up in the sixth.

New York ties it up in the sixth

Hall took over in the sixth and got two quick outs with a groundout and a caught stealing by Gary Sánchez on Aaron Judge, who'd drawn a walk.

Hall followed by walking Cody Bellinger, which came back to bite the left-hander when Jazz Chisholm lined a double into the corner in right field.

Milwaukee might have had a play at the plate, but the throw in by Blake Perkins was too high for the cutoff man Turang and Bellinger scored easily.

Nothing doing early against Carlos Rodón...until

Through three innings, the Brewers made contact five times against the veteran lefty and all five instances resulted in groundouts.

Otherwise, Milwaukee made nothing of leadoff walks drawn in the first and second innings.

Things changed quickly in the fourth, however, as William Contreras and Sánchez opened by drawing walks – Sánchez turned a 2-1 count into a 3-0 count with a successful ABS challenge – and then Andrew Vaughn was hit by a pitch to load the bases.

After Luis Rengifo bounced into a forceout at home, Garrett Mitchell drove in Sánchez with a sacrifice fly to center to get Milwaukee onto the scoreboard.

Then after a wild pitch, Perkins lined a changeup into center for a two-run single to give the Brewers their first lead at 3-2.

Henderson struck out a pair in the fifth to complete his afternoon having allowed four hits, two runs and a walk with five strikeouts over 74 pitches.

An early hole for Logan Henderson

Ben Rice, the second batter of the day, sent a shot to the warning track in right field that Perkins made a great running catch on to get Henderson within an out of a 1-2-3 first inning.

But on his next offering he left a 94.3-mph fastball out over the heart of the plate that Judge deposited over the wall in right. It was the slugger's first extra-base hit of the series.

An inning later, José Caballero doubled to center and Spencer Jones followed with his first major league hit, a single to center that scored Caballero to increase the deficit to 2-0.
