Yankees 2, Brewers 2: Brice Turang's Game-Tying Run in Eighth Inning The Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees played a closely contested game on May 9 at American Family Field, with the final score standing at 2-2. The matchup featured standout performances from both teams, including a pivotal moment in the eighth inning when Brice Turang turned the tide with a sequence of three plays. Turang, the Brewers’ second baseman, ignited the rally with a 105.1 mph single to the right side, advancing to second base. On the next pitch, he stole second base, marking his eighth steal of the season. Moments later, Turang scored the tying run on a 102 mph single by William Contreras to left field, which beat out a strong throw from Cody Bellinger. The sequence, which took just three pitches, shifted momentum in favor of the Brewers and kept the game competitive. For the Yankees, right-hander Cam Schlittler dominated the Brewers despite an early challenge. Schlittler faced a 108.5 mph liner off his right calf in the first inning from William Contreras. Though initially affected, Schlittler recovered quickly, throwing his first warm-up pitch after the play and walking gingerly off the mound. He went on to pitch six innings of dominant baseball, striking out seven batters and allowing only two hits: the Contreras liner and a 105.0 mph single by Garrett Mitchell. Schlittler’s fastball averaged 98.0 mph, and his MLB-best ERA remained at 1.35. The Brewers’ offense struggled to capitalize on Schlittler’s early departure. After Schlittler was removed from the game in the seventh inning, the Brewers immediately scored a run on a home run by Jake Bauers, who hit the first pitch of the inning over the wall. Andrew Vaughn followed with a pinch-hit walk, putting pressure on the Brewers’ defense.#new_york_yankees #brice_turang #milkaukee_brewers #cam_schlittler #paul_goldschmidt
Yankees Seek Momentum Against Angels in Key Series Opener The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels are set to continue their four-game series with a pivotal matchup at Yankee Stadium, where the Yankees aim to build on their recent success against the Athletics. The game, scheduled for April 9, 2026, will feature a critical pitching duel between Yankees starter Ryan Weathers and Angels right-hander Reid Detmers. The contest, which begins at 7:05 p.m. ET, will be broadcast on YES Network, FanDuel Sports Network West, and several radio stations, with online streaming available via MLB.tv and the Gotham Sports App. Weathers, who has struggled with inconsistency and injury issues early in the season, is looking to follow up on a strong eight-inning, one-run performance against the Athletics last week. The 28-year-old pitcher, acquired from the Miami Marlins in a trade this winter, has shown flashes of his potential but has faced challenges with his command and durability. His fastball remains a key weapon, but his breaking pitches—particularly his slider and curveball—have been the standout elements of his game. Analysts note that Weathers may adjust his approach in this start, emphasizing his secondary offerings to counter the Angels’ lineup. The Yankees will need him to build on his recent success, as his previous two starts had been less effective, raising concerns about his ability to sustain his performance. Detmers, the Angels’ ace, will be tasked with keeping the Yankees’ potent offense in check. The 26-year-old right-hander has posted a 3.38 FIP through his first three starts of the season, demonstrating his ability to limit damage despite a slight dip in strikeouts compared to his three-year average.#yankees #angels #ryan_weathers #reid_detmers #paul_goldschmidt
