Wifflestock Series: Game 2
Yankees 2, Brewers 1
6th inning rally by Yanks forces Game 3
With Hendi pitching for the win in the top of the sixth and nursing a 1-0 lead, the Yankes clawed back, getting three singles to drive in the tying and go ahead runs, and Cota held on to earn a 2-1 win over the Crew, forcing a game 3. Cota (1-0) was in mid-season form, scattering three hits and striking out 10 and walking two. Hendi's solo homer in the last of the 2nd would be all the runs scored in the game until the big sixth inning rally. Hendi (0-1) pitched what was likely his best game of the year until his sixth inning collapse, bringing a no-hitter into the final frame. Hendi fanned a career-high 11 batters (including whiff glutton Willie six times), and walked six. Cota had two hits, scored once and drove in one in the winning rally.
