Takeaways as the Chicago White Sox suffer an excruciating 9-7 loss while being swept by the Milwaukee Brewers

Christian Yelich capped Milwaukee’s comeback with a go-ahead, pinch-hit, three-run home run against closer Seranthony Domínguez with two outs in the eighth inning. The Sox surrendered six runs in the eighth on the way to being swept. “It was a really bad moment for our team, for me,” said Domínguez, who allowed two runs on two hits in one-third of an inning.

“I was so close to getting out of that inning and just made a big mistake right down the middle. ” After losing the first two games by a combined 20-3, the Sox couldn’t have asked for a better start Sunday when Colson Montgomery hit a grand slam in the first inning. Munetaka Murakami hit a solo home run in the second inning — his third home run in three games — and Everson Pereira homered in the third as the Sox built a 7-2 lead.

And then came the eighth-inning meltdown. The Sox entered the inning ahead 7-3. The Brewers loaded the bases with one out for Brice Turang, who drove in a run with a single against Chris Murphy to make it 7-4.

Domínguez entered with the bases still loaded. He got William Contreras to pop out to third baseman Miguel Vargas, but Luis Rengifo followed with a two-run single, which cut the Sox lead to 7-6. Yelich followed with the home run on a 2-2 splitter to put the Brewers ahead.
