Placed in a tough spot, rookie lefty Drohan can't stifle Rays rally in 12th

During the twelfth frame of a postseason contest, Milwaukee turned to rookie pitcher Shane Drohan out of absolute necessity after depleting their entire bullpen. The young left-hander struggled to contain the opposition, failing to record an out while surrendering four consecutive singles, culminating in a walk-off hit by Ben Williamson that sealed a 4-3 defeat.

Manager Pat Murphy acknowledged that utilizing Drohan in that critical spot was far from his initial strategy, having already cycled through Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby, and multiple other relievers over the course of the marathon matchup. Despite the rough outing, teammates emphasized that Drohan did induce ground balls on several sequences and will remain a needed piece moving forward.
