(WNFL) – Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta has always been thought highly of by Brewers brass.
Last night doubters found out why.
Peralta pitched into the seventh inning with a no-hitter, leading the Brewers to a 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at American Family Field in Milwaukee.
Peralta who improved to 6-1 came within 5 outs of a no-hitter on of all things his 25th birthday.
Peralta who allowed just 1 hit in 7 1/3 innings while walking 3 and striking out 9 gave up a hit to Nick Ahmed who looped a single to left field with 1 out in the seventh inning.
Brad Boxberger and Trevor Richards then completed the game for the Brewers.
The Brewers jumped in front early, taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning on Daniel Vogelbach’s fourth home run of the year.
Jackie Bradley’s groundball out scored Omar Narvaez in the second inning to make it 2-0 Milwaukee. Narvaez then doubled home Avisail Garcia in the third and scored on the play when the Diamondbacks committed 2 errors on the play for a 4-0 lead.
The Brewers scored their final run in the eighth inning on Omar Narvaez’ fifth home run of the season.
The two teams will play the third game of the four game series this afternoon at 3:10.
