## Summary

The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Milwaukee Brewers in extra innings in Game 4 of the World Series, after the Brewers had moved within three outs of winning their first championship. The article argues that manager Pat Murphy’s decision to use little-used reliever Shane Drohan instead of ace Jacob Misiorowski may have contributed to the loss and cost Milwaukee a chance to clinch.

Milwaukee led 3-0 in the series and had won eight consecutive playoff games before Tuesday’s defeat. In the bottom of the 12th, Tampa Bay scored twice after an error, a series of singles and a bouncing ground ball; Misiorowski had been scheduled to start Game 5. Murphy said he did not want to use the likely National League Cy Young Award winner in a one-run extra-inning game with a series lead, but said the Brewers would now have “all hands on deck”.
