MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) — Freddy Peralta pitched a gem on his birthday to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 5-1 win over Arizona on Friday.
Peralta went 7.1 innings and allowed just one hit- an 8th inning liner by Nick Ahmed to center field, and three walks. He also recorded nine strikeouts in the outing.
Michael Boxberger finished the 8th to earn a hold. Trevor Richards closed out the 9th.
Milwaukee scored their five runs on just six hits including home runs from Daniel Vogelbach (solo blast in the first) and Omar Narvaez (solo in the 8th). Narvaez finished the game 2-3 with an RBI double in the 3rd as well. He also scored three runs in the win.
Ahmed’s hit was the lone knock of the game for the Diamondbacks.
The same two teams will go at it again Saturday afternoon. Coverage begins at 2:35 on WSAU.
