Kyle Harrison's WAR has suddenly dipped below 1.0, and the Milwaukee Brewers have a major problem on their hands.

The 25-year-old wasn't able to record a single out in last night's 13-9 victory.

He allowed four runs against the Cincinnati Reds, and it's clear he's dealing with something, whether that's mentally or physically, that is holding him back.

Manager Pat Murphy had a chance to speak about his first bullpen appearance, and to say it didn't go according to plan would be an understatement.

Harrison was throwing strikes, no doubt, but it resulted in four earned runs on four hits in just 17 pitches.

When looking at his last three appearances, Harrison has now given up 19 runs (17 earned) and 23 hits in just 7.1 innings.

"We'll get this straight. This will happen. We're going through a rough patch," Murphy told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Todd Rosiak after the win.

Aaron Ashby relieved Harrison and eventually got a huge double play, but all of the runners Harrison was responsible for ended up scoring.

His outing lasted just one batter over the minimum, something that comes as no surprise knowing he allowed a single, double, and then two more singles. It's also important to note there was a passed ball sprinkled in there, which allowed a run to score.

Murphy continued, "Harry had his velo up, didn't make pitches. He gave up two balls off the fist. Two hard contacts with misplaced pitches. It's an outgrowth of maybe lack of confidence, and it affects your physical a little bit."

In total, 12 of the 17 pitches he threw were for strikes, so while getting his velocity up and throwing strikes is one thing, recording outs is another, and he sure missed the mark in this appearance.

If the Brewers truly aren't serious about having Harrison start in the playoffs, there's no reason to even have him on the roster.

Bryse Wilson and Grant Anderson will be back relatively soon, and those are two relievers who can give this team multiple innings and do so extremely efficiently.

Not only that, but they'll be well rested and hopefully come back at 100% after their respective stints on the Injured List.

Time is running out on Harrison, so it'll be interesting to see how Murphy and Co. handle his appearances moving forward.

A trip down to Triple-A isn't out of the question, but Milwaukee is really struggling right now with both Harrison and Brandon Sproat, two pitchers who were once a no-brainer to make the playoff roster.
