Yelich leaves early with injury, Murphy says to brace for 'bad news'

Milwaukee might have to face an injury to another key player after designated hitter Christian Yelich had to be lifted in the fifth inning with what was described as left hamstring tightness – a malady that Brewers manager Pat Murphy didn't sound too optimistic about. "We're most likely going to get some bad news on Yelich to further put us down," Murphy said, not exactly the news a struggling team wants to hear with two other position players (Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn) on the injured list with broken hands and a key reliever in left-hander Jared Koenig out with an elbow sprain. “We’ll respond," said Turang.

"We’ll figure it out. We’re a really good team and when we play our game we’re hard to beat, and we know that. It’s up to each individual guy to trust each other and trust themselves.

” Perhaps Monday's off day comes at a perfect time – to help the Brewers flush this series, get just a little bit healthier and rediscover that missing edge that Murphy has mentioned. "We did little things that are not typical of how we play, but every team's going to go through this," he said. "It hurts like crazy, but I still like the team.

Just go through it, and you can show a lot of character right now. We expect a lot, and we've put ourselves in that position and it's discouraging when you don't come through and when you lose games like this when you did enough in some areas to win a major league game. "But you've got to do it in all areas.
