NEW YORK — The New York Yankees are hoping to find out if one dramatic homer can alter weeks of negative momentum on Sunday afternoon when they conclude a three-game series with the visiting Milwaukee Brewers.
The Yankees were two outs away from another discouraging defeat until Clint Frazier hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth Saturday. Instead of a 3-2 loss, the Yankees walked off the field with a 5-3 win.
The Yankees (45-40) are 7-17 in their last 24 games after Frazier’s homer and 3 1/2 games behind the first-place Boston Red Sox in the American League East.
