MILWAUKEE – For the first time in 2026, the Brewers were walk-off winners.
The Yankees took a one-run lead in the top of the 10th inning, but the Brewers answered right back, getting a tying infield single from Jackson Chourio and a winning sacrifice fly from William Contreras after a huge mistake from Yankees reliever Tim Hill kept Milwaukee in business for what became a 4-3 win at American Family Field.
There were runners at first and second with one out when Brice Turang hit a bouncer back to Hill, who chose to try to retire the lead runner at third. But his throw hit Luis Rengifo, loading the bases and prompting a visit from the athletic trainer to check on Rengifo.
Contreras followed with a sacrifice fly to win the game and cap his two-RBI night. The victory went to Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby – making the lefty the Major League leader with seven victories.
It took a pair of late-inning comebacks to win after the Brewers were shut down for the first six innings by Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler, who was struck on the left calf by a 108.5 mph line drive off the bat of Contreras in the first inning and was undeterred. Schlittler held the Brewers to that single plus one other in six scoreless innings before departing with a 2-0 lead.
