Brewers' Controversial Handling Of Ace Pays Off

The Milwaukee Brewers and their manager, Pat Murphy, faced considerable criticism in the aftermath of their 4-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night.

With the Brewers up 3-2 in the bottom of the 12th and just three outs away from a World Series title, Murphy opted not to bring in his ace, Jacob Misiorowski, from the bullpen.

Instead, he summoned Shane Drohan, who surrendered four straight hits and lost the game without recording an out.

With Misiorowski slated to start Game 5, Murphy wanted him to be fully rested and not mess with his routine the night before his start.
