After their four-game winning streak ended on Monday, the Brewers looked to rebound behind Freddy Peralta on Tuesday. It was a mostly good day for Peralta, but it was Joey Ortiz and the offense that stole the show. Ortiz’s first career multi-homer game led the offense as the Brewers cruised to a 9-3 win.
Peralta came out strong, striking out Oneil Cruz and Andrew McCutchen to start the game. He had Bryan Reynolds down 0-2 going for a third strikeout, but Reynolds hit a double on the third pitch. Peralta bounced back quickly, striking out Nick Gonzales to end the inning.
