William Contreras Walk-Off Sac Fly in 10th Ends Yankees' Night, Brewers Steal Series

Milwaukee just walked out of American Family Field with a series win on Saturday night, and it came down to the most clutch moment of the evening. William Contreras lofted a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th inning, bringing home Luis Rengifo for a 4-3 comeback victory over the visiting Yankees. That's the kind of gut-punch finish that makes you want to rewind the whole game.

The Yankees Thought They Had It

New York scored one in the top of the 10th to grab a 3-2 lead. Ryan McMahon singled with two outs to put the Yankees up, and Aaron Judge was intentionally walked with one out. Cody Bellinger flew to left, but McMahon came through with an RBI single up the middle. It felt like the Yankees had control. It wasn't.

Fernando Cruz came out to start the bottom half, but things immediately fell apart. Garrett Mitchell, the automatic runner, advanced to third on a wild pitch. Luis Rengifo walked. Gary Sanchez pinch hit and flied out, but then Jackson Chourio delivered an RBI infield single to tie it at 3-all. When Tim Hill came in and threw wildly to third, the bases loaded. Contreras was waiting.

Brewers Erased a 2-0 Hole Against Dominant Pitching

Milwaukee's comeback was even more impressive because they had to dig out of a hole. Cam Schlittler was absolutely dealing through six innings, holding the Brewers to just two hits. Paul Goldschmidt opened the game with his third homer, a 419-foot shot to left-center. Goldschmidt made it 2-0 with a two-out, bases-loaded single in the fourth.

Then the Brewers' bats woke up. Brent Headrick relieved in the seventh, and Jake Bauers sent his first pitch 420 feet to right-center for his sixth homer, pulling Milwaukee within 2-1. In the eighth, Brice Turang singled with two outs off Camilo Doval and stole second. Contreras singled to left, and Turang slid home just ahead of the throw from Bellinger to tie it 2-all.

Ashby Delivers the Master Piece

Aaron Ashby pitched the final two innings and picked up his seventh victory, matching the Major League best. Schlittler took a 108.5 mph liner off his leg from Contreras in the first inning but stayed tough, striking out six and walking none. His ERA dropped from 1.52 to 1.35, the best in baseball.

The Brewers are walking out of this one with the series win and a reminder that games aren't over until that final out is recorded.
