Brewers Win 4-3 in 10th on Contreras Sacrifice Fly
Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras delivered a game-ending sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning Saturday night, lifting his team to a 4-3 comeback victory over the New York Yankees at American Family Field.
The Yankees grabbed a 3-2 lead in the top of the 10th on Ryan McMahon's two-out RBI single off Aaron Ashby, who earned his major league-leading seventh win by pitching the final two innings. Milwaukee quickly answered in the bottom half. Fernando Cruz walked leadoff hitter Luis Rengifo, and an automatic runner, Garrett Mitchell, advanced to third on a wild pitch. Pinch hitter Gary Sánchez flied out before Jackson Chourio tied the score with an RBI infield single. Reliever Tim Hill then fielded Brice Turang's grounder but threw wildly past third base, hitting Rengifo and loading the bases. Contreras lofted a fly ball deep enough to right field to score Rengifo with the winning run.
The win gave the Brewers a series victory after shutting out New York 6-0 on Friday. It marked the Yankees' first back-to-back losses since a five-game skid from April 8-12.
