Milwaukee. On Friday Jacob Misiorowski reached 103.6 mph and held the New York Yankees to two hits over six innings as the Brewers blanked the Yankees 6-0, and on Saturday William Contreras tied the game in the eighth and delivered a game-ending sacrifice fly in the 10th to give Milwaukee a 4-3 victory. This week the results left the Yankees with consecutive losses despite a six-inning, scoreless performance from Cam Schlittler that lowered his ERA to 1.35; Brandon Lockridge was carted off Friday after a knee collision with an unpadded wall, and managers will assess bullpen usage and injuries as the teams continue the road and home schedules.
