What happened

MILWAUKEE — The Yankees don’t lose series often, but when they do, they get swept.

Why it matters

At least their last two times, anyways, this one in crushing fashion.

Common ground

After arriving here as one of the hottest teams in baseball, winners of 16 of their last 19 games, the Yankees delivered a dud of a series, getting swept away by the Brewers, the last two games by walkoffs.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
