Brewers' Megill Falters, Fans Boo, Murphy Defends

0:00On April 16th, the Milwaukee Brewers just dropped their sixth straight game, falling to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night, and it all came down. To closer Trevor McGill, blowing a save in the ninth. McGill came in protecting a one-run lead, but gave up three hits, three earned runs, and a walk, handing the Jays the win and extending the Brewers. Skid. Fans at the stadium let loose with booze after the meltdown, but manager Pat Murphy jumped to McGill's defense, pointing out the guy's 30 saves. Last year and his battles through injuries. Murphy called the booing poor taste, saying, these are young players going through tough times, not machines, and reminded everyone of McGill's roll-in, past division wins and big playoff moments. Through six appearances, McGill sits at zero wins, two losses, with a 14.40 ERA over five innings, and while Murphy backs him, he hinted the team might need a new late game option to snap this slump.
