Freddy Peralta - Pitches well enough for win Peralta (10-5) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings as he got the victory over the Mets on Sunday. Impact Peralta started off a little rocky after giving up a solo home run to Francisco Lindor in the opening frame. He ran into some more trouble in the fourth after a single and two doubles to kick off the inning scored two more runs for the Mets. A walk and a base hit with one away in the sixth would cap his day at 91 pitches. He was charged with one more run before it was all said and done after one of the inherited runners came in to score. Peralta has taken a bit of a step back over the final two months of the season. He owns a 4.71 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 50:9 K:BB over eight starts since Aug. 4. He's still been magnificent overall, as he now sports a 2.81 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 195:56 K:BB over 144.1 innings. The Brewers could choose to rest some of their starters over the final week of the season in preparation for the playoffs, Peralta included. However, he has a chance to make one more regular-season start next weekend against the Dodgers.
