Joey Ortiz homers, drives in 4 runs, including winner in the 11th inning, as Brewers top Yankees 7
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Joey Ortiz hit a run-scoring single in the 11th inning and finished with a homer and four RBIs to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-6 win over the New York Yankees on Friday night.
Owen Miller, inserted as a pinch runner for former Yankee Gary Sánchez at second to start the 11th inning, advanced to third on a fly ball to right field by Brice Turang. Ortiz then singled through the legs of third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera, driving in the winning run.
“I was just excited to be able to help the team win,” Ortiz said. “That’s what really matters.”
Ortiz came into the game with three hits in his last 24 at bats, including 0 for 13 in the last 12.
“Hit something hard, put the barrel on the ball,” he said. “Put the ball in play and make things happen.”
New York’s Jose Trevino, on second to start the 10th inning, scored on a double to the wall in left-center by pinch-hitter Giancarlo Stanton. Milwaukee tied the game in the bottom half of the inning when Willy Adames singled to center, scoring William Contreras and tying it at 6-all.
