There won’t be many games in which Freddy Peralta allows one run over seven innings that result in a loss. That was the unfortunate reality for the Brewers on Wednesday night in a 1-0 loss to the Miami Marlins.
Peralta’s final line of one run allowed over seven innings was impressive enough, but he managed a lack of fastball command to limit the Marlins to just four hits and walk. He caught the Marlins for 13 whiffs on 49 swings (27%) en route to seven strikeouts.
The very first plate appearance of the game told a meaningful story.
