Brewers’ Blake Perkins Delivers Big Hit on First Mother’s Day Since His Mom’s Death

Perkins drove in two runs after an emotional Mother’s Day return, and Milwaukee completed its first three-game sweep of the Yankees since 1989.

  • On Sunday, May 10, 2026, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Blake Perkins delivered a two-run single in the fourth inning, capping a 4-3 victory that secured the Brewers' first three-game sweep of the New York Yankees since 1989.
  • Playing on Mother's Day for the first time since his mother's death, Perkins honored Carisa Sharrett, who died of colon cancer last July at 54, through his performance on the field.
  • Brewers manager Pat Murphy recalled Perkins from the minors after Brandon Lockridge went on the injured list, with Perkins entering Sunday's game batting.109 after a season-long struggle.
  • With the bases loaded in the fourth inning, Perkins drove a liner past second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. off New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon, scoring two runs to give Milwaukee the lead.
  • Equipment manager Jason Shawger preserved the ball from Perkins' decisive hit in a case immediately after the game, with the memento sitting in Perkins' locker during his postgame media session.
