Brewers’ Brandon Lockridge on his leg injury from hitting concrete
He was carted off the field May 8 after sliding into a concrete wall, but Brandon Lockridge was back and talking about the injury the next day.
The Milwaukee Brewers go for a second straight victory over the New York Yankees on May 9 at American Family Field.
Left-hander Kyle Harrison gets the start on the mound for Milwaukee opposite New York fireballing right-hander Cam Schlittler.
Brice Turang makes the tying run happen
In a matter of mere moments, Brice Turang flipped the script with three successive impressive plays over three pitches.
First, with two outs and nobody on against Yankees set-up man Camilo Doval, Turang whistled a 105.1 mph single through the right side.
On the next pitch, he bolted for second to pick up his eighth steal of the year.
Seconds later, Turang dashed home on William Contreras’ 102 mph single to left just ahead of a strong throw by Cody Bellinger, knotting the game at 2-2.
Cam Schlittler dominates the Brewers
A 108.5 mph liner off the thick of his calf in the first inning bothered Cam Schlittler, but it didn’t slow him down.
Not one bit.
The Yankees right-hander shook off a smash off his right leg in the first inning from the bat of William Contreras to cruise through six innings of dominance against the Brewers. Schlittler struck out seven and never allowed a runner in scoring position to lower his MLB-best ERA to 1.35.
He seemed affected by the Contreras screamer initially, throwing his first warm-up pitch after the play to the backstop and then walking gingerly off the mound following an inning-ending punch out of Jake Bauers.
Schlittler, though, turned out to be just fine. The only hits he allowed came on the Contreras liner and a Garrett Mitchell 105.0 mph yelp to left.
Schlittler lit up the radar gun, although not quite to Misiorowski’s level from the night before, and averaged 98.0 mph with his fastball.
Jake Bauers gets the Brewers on the board
It took all of one pitch after Schlittler’s departure to the showers for the Brewers to rain down some offense, but they also came up short in what felt like it could have been a bigger rally in the inning.
After Jake Bauers greeted left-hander Brent Headrick with a homer on the first pitch he threw in the seventh, Andrew Vaughn drew a pinch-hit walk to keep the pressure on.
But after Sal Frelick went from up, 3-0, in the count to flying out to center, Garrett Mitchell also popped out and Luis Rengifo trickled a harmless grounder to short and, all in a span of four pitches, that was that.
Chad Patrick comes out of the bullpen
Mired in some struggles executing his fastballs in a starting capacity, Chad Patrick came out of the bullpen in the fifth inning and looked dominant.
The right-hander struck out five and, of equal importance, didn’t issue any walks across his first three scoreless in relief of Kyle Harrison.
Patrick had yet to look settled in as a starter despite a 3.45 ERA and was walking too many hitters while not generating enough swing and miss. Back in a bullpen role, he looked just like he did as a reliever in the playoffs, forcing nine whiffs on 21 swings while mixing in some effective slurves.
Patrick did come out to begin a fourth inning, tasked with the unenviable job of facing Aaron Judge for a second time and lost an eight-pitch battle to the gargantuan slugger.
Pitch timer miscue costs Kyle Harrison
The fourth inning was nothing but trouble for Harrison and the Brewers.
Following a leadoff double to Amed Rosario in which Jackson Chourio initially broke in only for the ball to sail to the warning track, Jazz Chisholm reached on a deftly-executed drag bunt.
Harrison was then called for a pitch timer violation on a 3-2 count to José Caballero due to coming set before Caballero had engaged in the box, loading the bases.
Harrison channeled that frustration to strike out Spencer Jones and get Austin Wells to pop out, but third baseman Luis Rengifo couldn’t handle Paul Goldschmidt’s one-hop smash at third, allowing a run to score on an infield single.
Paul Goldschmidt did what Paul Goldschmidt does
No matter his age, Goldschmidt always finds the fountain of youth when he comes to Milwaukee.
The 38-year-old Yankees first baseman opened the festivities up with a towering homer to left, the 21st of his career at Miller Park/American Family Field in 69 games. That’s the most of any visiting park for Goldschmidt, who did all his prior damage as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals and Arizona Diamondbacks, where he spent a combined 14 years of his 16-year career.
Brandon Lockridge placed on injured list
Following his gruesome collision with the exposed concrete along the left-field wall in foul territory the night before, Brandon Lockridge was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee laceration and contusion.
The Brewers recalled Blake Perkins from Class AAA Nashville just six days after optioning him there.
