Turang’s homer off Bednar in 9th helps Brewers complete sweep with 4-3 win over Yankees
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.
