Brewers Bench Players Amid Four-Game Losing Streak

The Milwaukee Brewers have lost four straight games, including a walk-off defeat to the St. Louis Cardinals, after previously dropping three of four to the San Francisco Giants. Manager Pat Murphy, frustrated by defensive lapses, held a closed-door team meeting emphasizing the need for discipline and a stronger competitive mindset. During the Cardinals game, Murphy benched two young players for on-field mistakes to reinforce accountability. Former MVP Christian Yelich, struggling both offensively and defensively, stressed the importance of addressing issues early in the season. The Brewers are now below .500 and trail the division-leading Chicago Cubs by four games. Team leadership hopes that increased accountability and renewed focus will help them rebound.
