Brewers Sweep Puts Yankees’ Record Against Winning Teams Under the Microscope

A trip to Baltimore offers a prompt reset against an Orioles staff thinned by injuries.

Overview

  • New York’s skid ended Sunday with another 4-3 walk-off in Milwaukee, capping a three-game sweep that included back-to-back one-run losses.
  • The Yankees’ lineup mustered only 16 hits in 95 at-bats with 39 strikeouts against the Brewers’ high-velocity arms.
  • Carlos Rodón, in his first start since offseason elbow surgery, walked five and lost a 2-0 lead before the bullpen took over.
  • Manager Aaron Boone downplayed the trend, saying “We’re really good. We had a bad series,” even as the club fell to 1-8 versus winning teams and slipped behind the Rays.
  • The Yankees open Monday at Camden Yards with Ryan Weathers set to face Brandon Young, and Baltimore missing multiple starters on the injured list including Trevor Rogers, Dean Kremer and Cade Povich, with Zach Eflin out for the year.
