YANKEES’ FRAZIER HITS WALK-OFF HOME RUN
NEW YORK» Clint Frazier hit a three-run homer off Corey Knebel with one out in the ninth, lifting the Yankees over the Brewers 5-3.
Frazier turned on a 1-0 pitch from Knebel (0-2) for his second career homer and first game-ending shot.
Frazier had three hits and a career-high four RBIS in his sixth game.
Dellin Betances struck out two in a perfect eighth for New York, and Aroldis Chapman (2-0) struck out the side in the ninth.
The NL Central-leading Brewers wasted an impressive showing by crafty lefthander Brent Suter.
Suter, a Harvard graduate who has never reach 90 mph in the majors, didn’t allow a hit until Frazier’s groundball single with two outs in the fifth. He pitched two-hit ball through six scoreless innings before the Yankees got to him for two runs in the seventh. Jared Hughes and Jacob Barnes then got the ball to Knebel.
