With the Brewers on a three-game losing streak, they needed a good game to get back on the winning side and prevent a longer slump. With Freddy Peralta on the mound, he gave the Brewers the start they needed, and the offense provided him some runs as well. However, they did have to survive a late Reds rally to get this one.
The Reds struck first with back-to-back doubles in the second, giving them an early 1-0 lead. That was Peralta’s only runs allowed of the night, though. Overall, it was a solid night for Peralta with just one run, four hits, and one walk allowed in 5.
