Brewers extend win streak to four, sweep Royals

September 21, 2020 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers ran their win streak to a season-long four games, knocking off the Kansas City Royals 5-3 on Sunday at Miller Park.

Daniel Vogelbach drove in all five runs for the Brewers with two and three-run home runs and Josh Lindblom (2-3) tossed 5 1/3 innings of 3-hit, 1-run ball to secure the victory in the final home game of the season at Miller Park.

The Brewers improved to .500 (26-26) and remains tied with the Cincinnati Reds for third place in the Central Division, just a game behind second place St. Louis.  The Brewers control their own playoff destiny with three games against the Reds, followed by five against the Cardinals in St. Louis.  They’ll be trying to make the MLB postseason for the third straight season.

Vogelbach now has three home runs in 11 games with the Brewers.  He’s hitting .417 with 10 runs batted in since joining the team.

Brent Suter gave up a two-run homer to Salvador Perez in the ninth to make it a two run game.  When the Royals brought the tying run to the plate, the Brewers went to Josh Hader to close it out, collecting his 10th save of the season.

The Brewers send ace Brandon Woodruff (2-3, 3.45) to the mound tonight against Cincinnati’s Luis Castillo (3-5, 3.03).  First pitch is set for 5:40 p.m.

June 27, 2018 By Bill Scott

Freddy Peralta

22-year-old Milwaukee Brewers rookie Freddy Peralta tossed seven innings of one-hit ball while striking out 10 in a 5-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.

Peralta, who had previously used his fastball about 85% of the time, threw more curve balls on Tuesday night and he was throwing them for strikes, improving to 3-0 on the season.

With Zach Davies set to make at least one more rehab start on Friday night in Appleton, which means Peralta will get another start for the Brewers when he faces the Reds in Cincinnati on Sunday.  After that, who knows.

“That hasn’t been a conversation,” manager Craig Counsell said.  “If he keeps pitching like that, it’s going to lead to more starts, for sure.”

Christian Yelich got things rolling with a home run in the first inning, swinging on a 3-0 count.  Ryan Braun and Jesus Aguilar also went deep.  Aguilar clubbed his 17th home run of the season.

Brent Suter (8-4) pitches the series finale for the Brewers this afternoon at Miller Park.

June 30, 2015 By Bill Scott
