NEW YORK -- Travis Shaw drove in four runs, including a three-run homer with one out in the top of the first inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the New York Yankees 5-3 on Sunday afternoon.

Stephen Vogt also homered for the Brewers, who won a series against the Yankees in New York for the first time since May 5-7, 1995.

Jimmy Nelson (8-4) allowed three runs and seven hits in five-plus innings to match his win total from last season. He struck out six, including Aaron Judge in consecutive at-bats.

Four Milwaukee relievers combined on four scoreless innings and Corey Knebel posted his 14th save when he struck out Gary Sanchez with a runner on second.

Clint Frazier hit a two-run homer for the Yankees, who are 7-18 in their last 25 games since June 12 after striking out 14 times and going 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position.

Masahiro Tanaka (7-8) concluded an uneven first half by allowing five runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings. It was the seventh time he allowed at least five runs and seventh time Tanaka allowed multiple home runs.

Shaw entered 2-for-12 against Tanaka, but after Jonathan Villar and Eric Thames opened the game with singles, the third baseman slugged a full-count slider into the right-center field seats for his 19th homer of the season.

Vogt made it 4-0 by driving a 1-1 sinker over the center-field fence for his fourth homer since being claimed off waivers from Oakland.

Frazier ended Nelson's shutout bid by sending a first-pitch slider over the center-field wall.

Nelson rebounded from the Frazier homer to strike out the side in the fifth after Tyler Wade opened the inning with a double.

Nelson was lifted after allowing the first two runners of the sixth to reach. Carlos Torres nearly gave up a three-run homer to Chase Headley, whose drive into the second deck was ruled fouled by inches near the foul pole after a brief replay review.
