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.

One day after having their 10-game winning streak snapped, the Chicago Cubs will look to begin a new streak when they face the Texas Rangers in the rubber match of a three-game series on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

Chicago went 0-for-13 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 runners in a 6-0 loss on Saturday. The Cubs had won 20 of their past 23 games before being shut out for the fourth time this season.

The lone bright spot for Chicago was left fielder Ian Happ, who extended his on-base streak to a career-high 30 games with a first-inning walk.

“Didn’t play well enough today and left a lot of guys on base,” Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman said. “But felt like we’re in a good spot, playing good baseball. Guys are preparing and executing the game plan.”

Josh Jung and Justin Foscue each hit solo homers for Texas, which snapped a two-game losing skid by outhitting the Cubs 9-4. Foscue’s blast was his first career homer in his 23rd major league game spread over three seasons.

“It was the best feeling in the world,” Foscue said. “There’s no other way to put it. I don’t think I felt my legs running around the bases. Pretty special moment. That was the best ball I’ve hit in the big leagues yet.”

Foscue started at first base in place of slumping Jake Burger, who was given a rest day by manager Skip Schumaker. Burger is hitting .130 over his last 18 games.

“I do think he’s getting closer,” Schumaker said. “He’s a hit or two away from getting extremely hot and carrying a team. Getting him going is going to be a big part of, you know, us getting back on track.”

Sunday’s pitching matchup features a pair of right-handers as Chicago’s Jameson Taillon (2-1, 4.24 ERA) faces the Rangers’ Jacob deGrom (2-2, 3.11).

Taillon, 34, allowed two runs on a pair of solo homers over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Cincinnati Reds last Tuesday.

Taillon has given up nine home runs over his last six starts covering 35 2/3 innings.

Corey Seager is 4-for-14 (.286) against Taillon, who is 1-1 with a 5.86 ERA in five career starts versus Texas.

The Rangers will counter with deGrom, who yielded a season-high six runs over 6 1/3 innings in a 7-4 road loss to the New York Yankees last Tuesday.

Dansby Swanson is 7-for-34 (.206) with two homers against the 37-year-old deGrom, who is 2-4 with a 3.26 ERA in 11 career starts against Chicago.

The Cubs’ offense has been red-hot this month despite receiving minimal production from Bregman, who is batting .233 with three homers and 13 RBIs. Chicago manager Craig Counsell said it’s only a matter of time before Bregman returns to form.

“In a lot of ways, with what we’ve done so far this season and Alex is probably off to a little bit of a slower start by his standards, it makes me happy in a weird way that we’ve got some good Alex Bregman coming here,” Counsell said.
