Overview
- Turang ended Sunday’s game at American Family Field with a first-pitch, ninth-inning homer off Yankees closer David Bednar to seal a 4-3 win and a three-game sweep.
- It was the second baseman’s first career walk-off and his sixth home run of the season, launched on a hanging curveball he said he was ready to wait back on.
- The moment drew instant parallels to Bill Hall’s 2006 Mother’s Day walk-off for Milwaukee, down to Turang swinging a bat finished in a bubble-gum pink lacquer.
- Earlier, Blake Perkins delivered a two-run, go-ahead single in the fourth after a Saturday call-up, a lift that carried extra weight on his first Mother’s Day since his mom’s passing.
- The sweep was Milwaukee’s first over New York since 1989, a result that stood despite Aaron Judge’s solo homer for the Yankees that tied him for the MLB lead at 16.
