Milwaukee

Brewers

Turang’s first career walkoff homer came off David Bednar with the game one out away from going to extras. He has six homers this year, so he’s on pace to top last year’s total of 18. After improving his slugging percentage from .300 as a rookie to .349 as a sophomore to .435 last year, he’s all of the way up to .511 right now.

Henderson struck out five of the 19 batters he faced. He came out after 74 pitches, as the Brewers didn’t want to take their chances of him pitching to Ben Rice, Aaron Judge (who had homered) and Cody Bellinger for a third time. Henderson has allowed four runs in 11 innings since joining the rotation last week. It’s not entirely certain that he’ll stick around after Brandon Woodruff returns, but he should. He’ll likely face the Twins next weekend.

Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby and Uribe all had easy innings in a tie game today, even though Ashby was pitching again after throwing two innings last night. For once, the win went to someone other than Ashby after Brice Turang’s walkoff homer in the bottom of the ninth. Uribe’s appearance was his ninth straight to come in the ninth inning of a game.

Thanks to a big assist from Tim Hill, who bizarrely decided to try for an out at third on a comebacker in the 10th and ended up nearly breaking the hand of a sliding Luis Rengifo, the Brewers only needed Contreras to deliver an outfield fly to win this one, and he did so successfully. He’s 13-for-34 with a homer and 10 RBI in his last eight games.

Harrison walked four and threw 77 pitches to get 12 outs, so the Brewers decided to give the Yankees a different look in the fifth and turn to Chad Patrick. Thanks to a late comeback, Harrison avoided the loss after leaving down 2-0. He’s 3-1 with a 2.41 ERA, and he should be worth using against the Padres next week.

Patrick entered to begin the fifth, which might have put him in good position to get a win tonight. The Brewers, though, never took a lead until winning the game in the 10th. Patrick, perhaps the game’s top utility pitcher whether he likes it or not, has a 3.15 ERA in five starts and three relief appearances. He might get a start next weekend against the Twins, but it’s not something anyone can count on.

Ashby struck out three after coming into a tie game to begin the ninth. He has a 2.16 ERA while throwing 25 innings in the Brewers’ first 36 games. It’ll be interesting to see if he can stay healthy with his kind of usage, because he’s definitely had issues there previously. He’s been one of the Brewers’ MVPs to date.

Perkins returns to the majors to fill a spot on Milwaukee’s bench after Brandon Lockridge suffered a serious knee injury during Friday’s series opener against the Yankees. The 29-year-old was shipped to the minors when Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn came back from the injured list earlier this week.

Brewers skipper Pat Murphy told reporters that Lockridge is “going to be out a while” after suffering a scary-looking knee injury during Friday’s game against the Yankees. The 29-year-old was carted off the field after sliding into the left-field wall while chasing a foul ball. X-rays came back negative, but Lockridge has been diagnosed with a deep laceration down to the bone in his knee. It’ll be Blake Perkins coming up from the minors to take his spot on Milwaukee’s bench.

Mitchell was held out of Friday’s lineup after missing Wednesday’s game against the Cardinals due to illness. The 27-year-old outfielder was pressed into duty after Brandon Lockridge left the contest with a scary-looking knee injury following a collision with the left-field wall.
