The Milwaukee Brewers won all three games against the New York Yankees. How?

The Milwaukee Brewers completed a sweep of the New York Yankees on Sunday with a 4-3 victory, which replicated their score over New York in Saturday’s win.

The win marks the Brewers’ fourth in a row and 22nd of the season, and there were multiple key moments and performances that led to their victory.

Brice Turang’s Big Blast

In the bottom of the ninth inning, it looked as if the Brewers and the Yankees were heading for another extra-innings battle after Joey Ortiz and Jackson Chourio struck out swinging.

Down to their final out, Brice Turang stepped up to the plate and proved once again why his stardom is growing.

Facing a 3-1 count, Turang watched a curveball from Yankees reliever David Bednar drop into the strike zone, which he met with authority to send it toward center fielder Trent Grisham. Grisham gave chase to the warning track, but abruptly stopped when he realized he did not have a chance at securing the ball.

Applause erupted inside American Family Field and Turang rounded the bases to complete a walk-off home run on Mother’s Day, marking an emphatic response after striking out in his previous at-bat. His walk-off moment comes 20 years after Bill Hall did it on Mother's Day in 2006.

Overall, Turang went 2-for-4 during the afternoon, and the game-winning long ball marked his sixth home run of the season.

A Fourth-Inning Response

Well before Turang played the hero and sent the Brewers’ faithful into a frenzy with his walk-off solo shot, Milwaukee found itself in need of offense after falling into a 2-0 hole early. 

In the bottom of the fourth inning, the offense delivered.

The Brewers scored three runs in the bottom of the frame to overcome their deficit and take their first lead of the day. It began with William Contreras and Gary Sanchez drawing back-to-back walks before Andrew Vaughn was hit by a pitch.

Once the bases were loaded, Contreras tried to get across home plate after Luis Rengifo hit a ground ball, but he was forced out at home plate. However, the Brewers were able to get on the board after a sacrifice fly ball by Garrett Mitchell scored Sanchez.

After a wild pitch advanced Vaughn and Rengifo, Blake Perkins hit a two-out, two-RBI single to center field to give Milwaukee the lead.

Bullpen Assistance

After right-hander Logan Henderson got the start for the Brewers and went five innings while striking out five batters and allowing four hits, two earned runs, and a walk, it was time for the relievers to take over and keep things under control.

Manager Pat Murphy deployed four bullpen arms to get his team through the rest of the game: DL Hall, Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby, and Abner Uribe. The four combined for five more strikeouts while allowing four walks, two hits, and one earned run. 

Uribe closed the game, and he got the winning decision to bring him to 2-1 on the year.

After dismantling one of baseball’s hottest teams, the Brewers will return to action on Tuesday when they host the San Diego Padres.
