3 years agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta allowed a hit and two walks while striking out five over four scoreless innings versus the White Sox on Friday. He did not factor in the decision. It took a week for Peralta to make his first start since the All-Star break, and the right-hander only threw 51 pitches (32 strikes) Friday. He was followed by Adrian Houser, who earned the win after completing the fifth inning with Milwaukee leading. Innings management could be a factor for Peralta the rest of the way, but he's been excellent when on the mound with a 2.29 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 140:46 K: BB through 102 innings. The 25-year-old tentatively lines up to face Atlanta next weekend, but he could move into a more favorable matchup versus Pittsburgh if Houser doesn't receive a start next week. This is a bad sign for fantasy owners of Peralta, the Brewers look like they will be very wary of Peralta's workload going forward.--James Stokke
