Brewers Extend Seven-Game Win Streak Behind Peralta Dominance

Freddy Peralta delivered a dominant pitching performance for the Milwaukee Brewers, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over 6 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts, helping the team secure an 8-1 win over the Washington Nationals. He carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, maintained a 7-0 record in 10 starts at American Family Field, and improved to 11-4 overall with a 2.60 ERA this season. The Brewers extended their winning streak to seven games and improved to 56-40, 16 games above .500 and just one game behind the first-place Chicago Cubs. Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang contributed homers in the eighth inning, further boosting the Brewers' offense. Peralta earned his second All-Star selection this season, and reliever Trevor Megill replaced him on the NL team roster. The Nationals, meanwhile, struggled with errors and injuries, including the scratching of shortstop C.J. Abrams due to shoulder soreness.
