MILWAUKEE – The last time the Brewers swept the Yankees in a series spanning at least three games, Robin Yount was on the way to winning his second American League MVP Award, Paul Molitor led the way with three hits and 41,036 came to County Stadium on a Wednesday afternoon to see a team trying to play its way into a pennant race.
It was back in August 1989. Now the Brewers have done it again.
Blake Perkins hit a two-out, two-run single to cap a three-run fourth inning and Brice Turang hit a winning homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Yankees, 4-3, at American Family Field, giving a team that didn’t have any walk-off wins this season going into Saturday night two in a row.
It was Turang’s first career walk-off home run.
And it gave the Brewers their third straight series win or split while pushing them six games over .500 for the first time since their 8-2 start to the season.
