Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy may have cost his team a chance to clinch the World Series

TL;DR

  • The Milwaukee Brewers lost Game 4 of the World Series in extra innings after a late rally by the Tampa Bay Rays.
  • Manager Pat Murphy opted to use reliever Shane Drohan instead of ace Jacob Misiorowski with three outs remaining in Game 4.
  • Misiorowski was being saved to start a potential Game 5, but the loss in Game 4 has now put more pressure on the bullpen and potentially Misiorowski for Game 5.
  • The Brewers had a strong postseason run until the collapse in Game 4, winning eight straight games previously.
  • Despite the loss, the Brewers are still considered favorites to win the series, but their path to a championship is now more uncertain.
