Bronx Time Capsule – Game 1 Recap
New York Yankees vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Final Score: Brewers 8 – Yankees 4

The 1998 Yankees stepped into the modern MLB world tonight, facing the Milwaukee Brewers in a clash of eras at Yankee Stadium. The crowd buzzed with anticipation, unsure how the Bronx Bombers of the past would adapt to 2025 stadium conditions.

Bottom of the 2nd: Scott Brosius opened the scoring with a 2-run line drive to left-center, putting the Yankees on the board early. The hit gave the team a spark, a sign that the late-90s sluggers still had bite.

Top of the 4th: Milwaukee answered immediately. Moises Alou belted a 379ft solo home run, flipping his bat in classic style and sending the fans into a frenzy. It was clear the Brewers weren’t just here to watch nostalgia — they came to compete.

Top of the 5th: The Brewers poured it on.

Hidalgo singled in Ausmus, opening the floodgates.

Biggio doubled, scoring Hidalgo.

Moises Alou doubled again, deflecting off Paul O’Neill, scoring Biggio.

Everett followed with a single, scoring Alou.

Suddenly, the scoreboard read Milwaukee 4 – Yankees 2, and the Bronx Bombers were on the back foot.

Bottom of the 6th: The Yankees fought back. Tino Martinez delivered a double, scoring Raines and Williams, bringing the Bronx faithful back into the game at 4-4. But the comeback would prove elusive.

Top of the 7th-9th: Milwaukee added insurance runs, taking advantage of timely hits and late-inning fatigue. The Yankees’ 1998 talent couldn’t quite keep up with the modern grind — the Brewers walked away with an 8-4 victory.

Pitching Notes:

Shane Reynolds (MIL): 5.1 IP, 10 H, 2 K, 4 ER — steady but allowed early damage.

David Cone (NYY): 6.1 IP, 10 H, 8 K, 1 BB, 6 ER — battled hard, but the offense left him hanging.

Player of the Game: Moises Alou – 3-4, HR, 2B, the engine behind Milwaukee’s offensive surge.

Yankee Standout: Tino Martinez – 4-4, 2B, 2 RBI, 1 R — showed that the Bronx Bombers can still swing, even if the result wasn’t enough.

Storylines to Watch:

Can David Cone shake off a tough first outing and lead the rotation into consistency?

Scott Brosius and Tino Martinez proved the power is still there, but will they find enough support to compete night after night?
