Brewers manager Pat Murphy benches rookie Cooper Pratt in 10-inning loss to Mets

Murphy, the two-time defending National League Manager of the Year, benched Pratt after he failed to get a bunt down and didn't run hard out of the batter's box on a bloop single during a 3-2 loss to the New York Mets in 10 innings.

"I've got to be better," Pratt said. "It's not winning baseball. I didn't help the team win and it won't happen again, that's for sure."

Batting ninth, Pratt was asked to bunt after Garrett Mitchell and Joey Ortiz opened the third with singles against Mets starter Zac Thornton. Pratt fouled off Thornton's first pitch and then pulled back his bat on the second one, a fastball right down the middle.
