Sproat’s Meltdown Ends Brewers’ Sweep | Milwaukee Brewers News

0:00It's September 10th. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Milwaukee Brewers News today, your AI-powered team report. The Milwaukee Brewers took down the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night, completing a sweep and extending their lead in the division. They jumped out early with Christian Yellich, hitting a three-run Homer in the first inning, and then added more runs in the second, thanks to Homer's. From Jackson Churrio and William Contreras, it looked like a comfortable win for Milwaukee. However, things got a little dicey in the ninth inning. After a solid performance from their pitching staff, manager Pat Murphy brought in Brandon Sprote. Sprote, who was recently called up, struggled mightily, walking four batters in a row and allowing the Cubs to get back into the game. Despite the late scare, the Brewers held on for an 8-6 victory, but manager Pat Murphy was not happy with Sprote's performance, calling it unacceptable and questioning his ability to be a major league pitcher. With that kind of control, Sprote has the history of these control issues, which is why he

1:00was sent down to Triple A earlier this season. He gave a four-earned runs in just over an inning of work, pushing his season ERA to 5.57. Given Murphy's strong reaction and Sprote adds struggles, it's highly unlikely we'll see him pitch for the Brewers again this year, especially with their World Series aspirations.
