GAME STORY | Brewers veteran right-hander Freddy Peralta stared down the Kid Rockies Monday night. It was not a fair fight.
Peralta dominated with a capital D, tying a career-high with 13 strikeouts over seven innings in Milwaukee’s 12-1 cruiser at American Family Field. Peralta allowed just one hit, didn’t walk a batter, and set down the final 20 hitters he faced. He threw 31 swing-and-miss pitches. In other words, he was close to perfect.
“We just couldn’t get the barrel to the ball enough times tonight,” manager Bud Black told AT&T SportsNet. “Guys were frustrated, especially the younger fellas. You saw the looks on their faces. They were exasperated. But this is baptism under fire for these guys against major league pitching. Peralta was on tonight. It was really good stuff.”
Rockies rookies were particularly vulnerable to Peralta’s rising, 95-mph four-seam fastball. Add in the occasional wicked slider and back-bending curve and the rookies’ heads were spinning. Peralta struck out Nolan Jones twice, Elehuris Montero twice, Brenton Doyle twice and Tovar twice.
