Make that three straight: Phillies 5, Brewers 4

The Phils struck first on a Rhys Hoskins’ RBI single in the first inning. A few batters later, the bases were loaded for none other than Didi Gregorius, who is most powerful with the bases juiced. So, you can guess what happened next.
Unfortunately, Brewers starter Freddy Peralta settled down after that, striking out six straight batters. Brewers’ relievers then combined for a total of five strikeouts, making it the 18th time this season in which the Phils have reached double-digits in strikeouts (is that good?)
