Brewers' Christian Yelich Sounds Off on World Series G4 Loss, 'Not Supposed to Be Easy'

Outfielder and team captain Christian Yelich summed things up following the Milwaukee Brewers' heartbreaking, 4-3 loss in extra innings to the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters after the Brewers allowed a golden opportunity to close out the series to slip through their fingers, Yelich said, "This stuff is not supposed to be easy. It's supposed to test you."

Trailing by scores of 1-0 and 2-1, the Brewers twice battled back to tie things up in Game 4 thanks to an RBI double by Cooper Pratt and solo home run by David Hamilton.

That allowed Milwaukee to force extra innings, and after the teams failed to score in the 10th and 11th innings, Pratt smacked a solo homer in the top of the 12th to put the Brewers ahead 3-2.

Milwaukee entered the bottom of the 12th needing three outs to win the first World Series in franchise history, but things went awry from there.

After Junior Caminero began the inning by reaching first base on a throwing error by Joey Ortiz, Shane Drohan entered the game and allowed four consecutive singles.

An RBI single by Jonny DeLuca tied it, and a walk-off RBI single by Ben Williamson won it, thus giving the Rays new life.

The Brewers still have a huge advantage, up 3-2 with likely National League Cy Young Award winner Jacob Misiorowski set to take the mound in Game 5 on Wednesday, but it is fair to wonder if losing Game 4 in such dramatic fashion could potentially mess with the Brew Crew's psyche.
