Today, Brice Turang, also number two, used a pink bat to add another chapter to Milwaukee Mother’s Day lore when he walked off the Yankees with a two-out, game-ending homer that just squeaked over the wall in center field.

Brewer starter Logan Henderson started positively with a strikeout of Trent Grisham. Ben Rice, who was next, made hard contact, but Blake Perkins—playing in right field, where he has made only four appearances in the last three seasons combined—made a fantastic catching on the run. Next up was Aaron Judge, and while the Brewers have done an excellent job keeping him down in this series (he was 1-for-6 with only a single and three walks), you can’t do it forever: Judge drove a first-pitch fastball, which was right down the middle, out to right field for his major-league-leading 16th home run of the season.

If he’s going to get you, a solo home run with two outs isn’t a bad time for him to get you. After the Judge homer, Henderson walked Cody Bellinger, who then stole second base with Jazz Chisholm Jr. at the plate, but Chisholm struck out to end the inning.

Carlos Rodón, who had arthroscopic surgery on his throwing elbow in October and was thus making the first start of the year, walked Chourio to start his 12th major-league season season. Brice Turang tried to spring a surprise bunt on the Yankees, but Rodón made a nice play to throw Turang out, so Turang’s bunt went into the book as a sacrifice (though he was certainly trying to get a hit). Last night’s walk-off hero, William Contreras, became Rodón’s first strikeout victim this season, and Gary Sánchez struck out too, and the leadoff walk went for naught.
