## Resource

Brewers manager Pat Murphy is pushing rookie pitcher Brandon Sproat to step up after a rough outing against the Astros, where Sproat was pulled in the fourth inning after giving up five earned runs. Despite his ERA climbing to 6.24, Murphy insists the team can’t afford more performances like this as they’re in a win-now mode. Sproat, acquired in a trade with the Mets, admits frustration but remains focused on improving—especially by consistently getting through five innings and throwing strikes early. Murphy, while acknowledging the setbacks, still sees flashes of potential and believes Sproat’s talent will eventually shine, especially with the team’s pitching depth thin due to injuries.
