Despite the loss, Peralta credits his successful outing to staying on his plan
Brewers starter Freedy Peralta struggled at times against the San Francisco Giants, yet in the end, he gave up no runs during 5 innings on Saturday, August 23, at American Family Field in Milwaukee.
After a 14-0 start to August helped build a nine-game lead in the National League Central Division, the relentless engine that is the Milwaukee Brewers cooled a bit last week when the team lost back-to-back series for the first time since June.
While a 3-5 mark vs. the second-place Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants certainly isn’t cause for alarm yet, the four-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks may carry a bit more importance than usual. At the conclusion of seven-game homestand at American Family Field, the Brewers travel to Toronto to face the AL East-leading Blue Jays, before coming back home for a three-game set with the NL-East-leading Philadelphia Phillies.
Meanwhile, the Cubs are three games into a 24-game stretch against opponents with losing records and are suddenly five games back of the Brewers after a 6-2 week.
