Austin Wells became the first catcher to hit a leadoff homer on opening day, as the New York Yankees began their American League pennant defense by beating the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on Thursday. Devin Williams, an All-Star closer acquired from Milwaukee in December loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth on two hits and a walk. He gave up Brice Turang’s sacrifice fly, then struck out Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich for the save. Chourio fanned five times, two more than his previous high. The Brewers Freddy Peralta says it was weird seeing Devin Williams in Yankee pinstripes.
