Veteran left-hander Carlos Rodon is scheduled to make his season debut for the visiting New York Yankees as they look to avoid a series sweep against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.
Rodon has been sidelined since undergoing elbow surgery last October. He will be opposed by right-hander Logan Henderson (0-1, 4.50 ERA), making his third start this season.
The Brewers rallied against the Yankees bullpen to win 4-3 in 10 innings after being held to two hits over six scoreless innings by Yankees starter Cam Schlittler, who lowered his MLB-best ERA to 1.35. After New York scored in the top of the 10th, the Brewers answered with two runs, capped by William Contreras' walkoff sacrifice fly with the bases loaded.
The series loss is the first for the Yankees since being swept by the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-game series April 10-12.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said he doesn't focus on the possibility of a sweep.
'I never look at like when we win the first two games, hey, we won the series,' Murphy said. 'I don't like to think about that. It's win tonight, we'll deal with game three tomorrow. I'm sure they have Rodon going. He's special.'
Rodon made three minor-league rehab starts without a decision and put up a 3.38 ERA. That ERA ballooned after his final tune-up on Tuesday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, when he allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings in an 83-pitch outing. He walked two and struck out four.
'This being probably my third time through a lengthy rehab process, I have some experience, although most people don't want to really say that,' Rodon told the New York Post on Saturday. 'Just [leaning] back on those times and working on the craft and trying to get back here and help the team.'
Rodon was 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA in 33 starts last season and was named to the All-Star team. He was 0-0 with a 9.72 ERA in two postseason starts, allowing nine runs in 8 1/3 innings.
Rodon is 2-1 with a 2.42 ERA in five career starts vs. Milwaukee. He has beaten the Brewers in his lone start against them each of the last two seasons, allowing a combined two runs on six hits in 11 1/3 innings.
Paul Goldschmidt accounted for the first two Yankees runs Saturday with a leadoff homer in the first inning and an RBI single in the fourth. He also singled in the seventh for his first three-hit game since August 2015. Goldschmidt has 21 career homers at American Family Field, his most at any visiting ballpark.
Henderson, who has split time this season with Triple-A Nashville, took the loss in his most recent start, allowing two runs on three hits in six innings in a 3-2 defeat at Washington last Sunday.
Henderson made five starts last season for the Brewers, going 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 25 1/3 innings. He is facing the Yankees for the first time.
Jackson Chourio, whose infield single tied the game at 3-3 in the 10th inning on Saturday, has hit in four consecutive games since coming off the injured list. He is batting .444 (8-for-18) with three doubles and three RBIs since returning.
