MILWAUKEE (AP) --- Brice Turang homered off David Bednar with two outs in the
ninth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers completed a three-game sweep of the New
York Yankees with a 4-3 victory Sunday.
Bednar (1-3) struck out Joey Ortiz and Jackson Chourio to start the ninth
before Turang hit a 411-foot drive over the center-field wall for his first big
league walk-off homer.
Milwaukee had not swept the Yankees in a series of at least three games since
August 1989. The Brewers improved their interleague record since 2022 to a
major league-best 116-65. They are 14-7 against American League teams and 8-9
against National League squads this season.
New York's Aaron Judge hit a solo shot off Logan Henderson in the first inning
for his 16th homer, matching Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber for the major league
lead. Judge has seven first-inning homers this year and 92 in his career.
Two days after his debut, the Yankees' Spencer Jones got his first hit, a
second-inning RBI single.
Milwaukee's Abner Uribe (2-1) worked a scoreless ninth inning.
Yankees starter Carlos Rodn made his season debut and held Milwaukee hitless
for the first 3 2/3 innings, but the Brewers erased a two-run deficit and took
the lead in the fourth inning by capitalizing on the left-hander's wildness.
Rodn started the fourth inning by walking William Contreras and Gary Snchez
and hitting Andrew Vaughn with a pitch. Contreras was forced out at home on
Luis Rengifo's bouncer to third before Snchez scored Milwaukee's first run on
Garrett Mitchell's sacrifice fly. Blake Perkins then got the Brewers' first hit
by lining a two-run single to center.
Rodn had surgery Oct. 15 to remove loose bodies in his left elbow and shave a
bone spur. He worked 4 1/3 innings and struck out four while allowing three
runs, two hits and five walks. Rodn averaged 95.7 mph with his fastball, up
from 94.1 mph last year.
New York tied the game against DL Hall in the sixth when Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s
two-out RBI double.
Ben Rice was 0 for 13 in the series after returning from a bruised hand that
caused him to miss four games.
