Loud contact going for outs. A wasted pinch hitter. The usually automatic Joey Ortiz at third base. Shane Drohan sticking with sinkers. None of it worked for the Brewers in a gut-punch Game 4 loss. To finish the job, they must bounce back one more time. brewerfanatic.com/news-rumor…

After a Gut-Punch Loss in World Series Game 4, Brewers Must Bounce Back Once More to Win First...

Cooper Pratt had his moment, and the Brewers were three outs away from theirs. But the baseball gods delivered a backhand of tough luck, a misplay, and a costly pitch-usage dilemma. The champagne...

Shane Drohan's assessment of his outing: "Just going at them with good sinkers, and they slapped it around."

Drohan threw 87% sinkers in his outing. It got two ground balls, but both were hit hard for singles. The Rays hit two two-strike singles off sinkers. "If the first guy hits a ground-ball double play, we're not even talking about it," Pat Murphy said of the pitch usage.

Pat Murphy said the Brewers did not want to burn Jacob Misiorowski to close out a one-run lead in extra innings on the road with a lead in the series. Misiorowski will start Game 5.

Murphy on using Antonio Senzatela and Shane Drohan to try to close it out: "We had the matchups we wanted ... We made an error, and then they capitalized."

Shane Drohan's sinker was bad for most of the year. Now it's his primary fastball instead of his highly effective four-seamer. "Now it's like a true sinker." Why he's switched fastballs, and whether it's really the best way for him to pitch in October: brewerfanatic.com/news-rumor…

Shane Drohan is a Sinker Guy Now. Will It Work in October?

Shane Drohan's fastballs trended in opposite directions and traded places down the stretch. Leading with the sinker made sense last month, but he'll need his dominant four-seamer again in the...

Sinkers. The Rays kept putting the ball in play and walked off Game 4.

There are runners on first and third. Shane Drohan is throwing sinkers. A strikeout would be massive here. This sequence against Johnny DeLuca will be interesting.

Senzatela broke Caminero's bat on a grounder to third, but Joey Ortiz made another low throw that Jake Bauers couldn't pick. Now it's Drohan with the tying run on first base.

With Junior Caminero, Liam Hicks, and Johnny DeLuca due up, it looks like it'll be Antonio Senzatela and Shane Drohan attempting to close out a Brewers' World Series championship.

Aaron Ashby's velocity dipped to 95 in a strikeout of Richie Palacios to open the bottom of the 11th, so Pat Murphy is going to Antonio Senzatela to face Taylor Walls and Yandy Diaz.

The hard-hit balls finally started getting through. A Sal Frelick single and a Cooper Pratt double have tied it in the fourth.

The Brewers have made much louder contact so far, yet the Rays lead 1-0 after 2 1/2 innings.
