Milwaukee Brewers reliever Shane Drohan faced a crucial moment in Game 4 of the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. With just three outs needed to secure the championship lead, Drohan took the mound as the team's best relievers were already utilized earlier in the game. In the first at-bat of the bottom of the 12th inning, Drohan forced a groundball towards third base, which was promptly touched by Joey Ortiz.
However, Ortiz's throw to first base was errant, allowing Jake Bauers to be caught off-guard. The Rays capitalized on the mistake, recording four consecutive hits against Drohan, leading to a walk-off victory in a dramatic 4-3 win. Ortiz, typically known for his defensive skills, acknowledged his error and expressed that no excuses could be made.
Despite this setback, the Brewers still lead the series 3-1 and are confident in their chances for a potential Game 5 victory, given their ace, Jacob Misiorowski, in the starting rotation.
