Camilo Doval remains a problem as Yankees’ bullpen struggles in loss to Brewers

But Doval gave up a single to ...

Asked to pitch in a high-leverage situation for the first time in a while, Camilo Doval disappointed on Saturday. With the Yankees up 2-1 with one out in the eighth inning, the flame-thrower relieved Brent Headrick, who surrendered a solo homer to Jake Bauers the previous inning. Doval quickly recorded an out, getting Jackson Chourio to pop up to Austin Wells.

But Doval gave up a single to Brice Turang after that. Never particularly good at controlling the running game, Doval then let Turang steal second before permitting a game-tying single to William Contreras. The sequence proved costly in what became a 4-3, 10-inning, series-losing defeat for the Yankees in Milwaukee.

While Ryan McMahon put the Yankees back in front with a single in the top of the 10th, the Brewers tied the game again in the bottom of the inning when Chourio picked up an infield single against Fernando Cruz. With runners on first and second and one away, new reliever Tim Hill then made the unwise decision to throw to third after fielding a comebacker. His throw hit Luis Rengifo.
