Brewers Extend MLB Best Record To 69-44 With 7-2 Win Over Braves

Freddy Peralta pitched five strong innings, allowing only one run on four hits with seven strikeouts, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves and extending their winning streak to five games. The Brewers capitalized on a four-run third inning, highlighted by Christian Yelich's infield single, a wild pitch, and Andrew Vaughn's two-RBI single, with Vaughn extending his hitting streak to 11 games. Despite the Braves hitting as many as the Brewers, Milwaukee's efficiency with runners in scoring position (5-for-11) outpaced Atlanta's struggles (1-for-10), contributing significantly to the win. Peralta improved his season record to 13-5 with a 3.03 ERA and 1.14 WHIP, and has now a career record of 5-2 against the Braves. The Brewers, holding the best record in Major League Baseball at 69-44 and leading the NL Central by three games, could become the first team to reach 70 wins this season with a victory in the upcoming game against the Braves. The Braves, who loaded the bases multiple times but left 14 runners stranded, will try to avoid a series sweep in the next game starting with Spencer Strider pitching against Jose Quintana.
