NEW YORK _ The Milwaukee Brewers did things that usually lose a game Friday night, but Jesus Aguilar would have none of it.
Putting his error-prone team on his broad shoulders, Aguilar almost single-handedly topped the New York Yankees, slugging two home runs, including a grand slam, and driving in seven runs to pave the way for a 9-4 victory at rain-soaked Yankee Stadium.
Aguilar tied the franchise record with his seven RBIs, allowing the Brewers to prevail in a game in which they committed five errors (one by Aguilar) and issued six walks. The Brewers' pitchers did hold the Yankees to four hits.
Right fielder Domingo Santana had a second inning in the field that makes a player want to find a place to hide. With one down, he failed to stay in front of Didi Gregorius' sinking liner and it got by him for what was ruled a single and two-base error, allowing Gregorius to advance to third base.
The Yankees immediately cashed in against Junior Guerra as Clint Frazier lifted a sacrifice fly to right. After Ji-Man Choi walked, Austine Romine hit a liner to deep right that Santana failed to glove, an error that left runners on second and third. Guerra escaped that mess by popping up Tyler Wade, leaving New York with a 1-0 lead.
Ryan Braun opened the fourth with a booming double to left-center and was on third with one down when Aguilar battled lefty Jordan Montgomery for eight pitches, finally driving a 3-2 slider the other way and out to right for a two-run homer that put the Brewers on top, 2-1.
The bottom of the inning began with a second error by second baseman Jonathan Villar on a grounder by Gregorius. With one down, Ji-Man Choi worked the count to 3-2 and belted a fastball to right for a towering two-run homer that put the Yankees back on top.
Romine followed with a sharp comebacker that caromed off Guerra's shin and rolled back toward the plate. Guerra recovered and threw in time to first for an out but Aguilar dropped the low toss for the Brewers' fifth error of the game.
At that point, the skies opened and it poured rain, forcing a stoppage of play for 51 minutes. When the game resumed, Guerra did not go back out, exiting with a bruised right shin.
Judge did what he does best in the fifth, blasting a 1-0 pitch from rookie lefty Josh Hader out to center for his 30th home run of the season. The big right fielder established a Yankees rookie record for an entire season with the blast, eclipsing Joe DiMaggio's mark of 29 in 1936.
