Milwaukee ? Jerry Royster moved into the manager’s office at Miller Park on Tuesday, something he had refused to do until the “interim” tag was removed from his title.

“Now, I’m the manager. I have to sit in there. The guys need me in there,” Royster said after general manager Dean Taylor put him in charge of the Milwaukee Brewers for the rest of the season.

“I even parked in the manager’s parking spot. I did everything. I’m the manager.”

Royster, 49, was promoted from bench coach to interim manager after Davey Lopes was ousted April 18, and he won his first four games before dropping six straight on the road.

He beat out five other candidates for the full-time job, including four members of his coaching staff and Bob Melvin, bench coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

“In the last three weeks, I’ve had three titles,” Royster said. “And this is the one I like the best.”
