The Yankees would have preferred to win their weekend series with the Brewers, but Milwaukee put up three tough games with an even tougher team.
New York avoided the sweep and prevailed in Sunday’s nailbiting 12-8 win, thanks to two more Aaron Judge home runs. The MVP contender has 59 for the season and can now look forward to making history at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees can also look forward to getting some much-needed help at home. Harrison Bader and Luis Severino will return from the injured list this week and boost the lineup and rotation accordingly.
