Down 1 in 10th, Brewers Upend Yanks to Clinch Series
Contreras drove in two runs as Milwaukee erased a late deficit and handed New York its second straight loss.
On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the New York Yankees 4-3 in 10 innings at American Family Field. William Contreras delivered the game-winning sacrifice fly.
Following a 6-0 defeat against Milwaukee on Friday, the Yankees also placed right-hander Luis Gil on the injured list Saturday with shoulder inflammation. The 2024 AL rookie of the year is not expected to throw for three weeks.
Despite being struck by a 108.5 mph liner from Contreras in the first inning, Yankees starter Cam Schlittler allowed two hits over six scoreless innings. Bauers homered for Milwaukee in the seventh, driving a 420-foot shot to right-center.
Relief pitcher Aaron Ashby earned his seventh win—leading the majors—after allowing one run in the 10th inning. Milwaukee rallied twice in the bottom half to overcome New York's 3-2 lead.
New York has lost consecutive games for the first time since April 8-12. Carlos Rodon makes his season debut for the Yankees on Sunday, returning seven months after undergoing elbow surgery.
