Brewers bench rookie Pratt for lack of hustle in loss to Mets
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy removed rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt from Tuesday's game after Pratt failed to run hard on a fifth-inning popup that dropped for a single. Murphy said Pratt should have easily reached second base, and Pratt acknowledged his mistake, saying there was no excuse. The Brewers lost 3-2 in 10 innings, with the winning run scoring on an error by Pratt's replacement.
