The Milwaukee Brewers entered Tuesday night’s game at American Family Field against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays riding a three-game losing streak and feeling salty.
Monday night’s 1-0 defeat included a controversial call in the bottom of the ninth inning. Brewers manager Pat Murphy earned an ejection while arguing the game-deciding umpire decision.
Murphy earned an ejection in a second consecutive game Tuesday as emotions were high in the second contest of a three-game set against a Rays team the Brewers have little to no history against (just 21 meetings all time, including Tuesday night’s game).
Murphy was ejected alongside starting pitcher Freddy Peralta during the sixth inning after the Brewers’ staff ace hit Jose Siri in the leg on a 3-0 count.
