Brewers' Pat Murphy gets ripped for his strange decision in NLCS Game 3

Pat Murphy produced a rare L during Wednesday’s game.

The Milwaukee Brewers faced the Los Angeles Dodgers for Game 3 of their NLCS series on Wednesday. Milwaukee managed to hold a 1-0 lead through five innings as Blake Snell and Robert Gasser put on an impressive pitcher duel.

But in the bottom of the sixth inning, Brewers manager Murphy made the decision to pull Gasser at 72 pitches. Instead, Murphy inserted reliever Abner Uribe to face the heart of the Dodgers lineup.

The usually steady Uribe then went on to walk his first two batters. He settled down to strike out Max Muncy but allowed another walk to Shohei Ohtani before Dodgers catcher Will Smith doubled off the wall to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead for L.A.
