Milwaukee Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-0 on Wednesday afternoon, extending their lead over the Reds in the National League Central to 1.5 games. 

The Brewers won because of a seventh inning Tyrone Taylor home run and a dominant pitching performance from right-hander Freddy Peralta.

He went six shutout innings, allowing just four hits. He walked none and struck out 13 in the no-decision.

His performance was so dominant that it put him in a rare group in franchise history.

Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com:

most strikeouts with no walks in a game, Brewers history:

8/11/21 Corbin Burnes: 15 

9/8/22 Corbin Burnes: 14 

7/15/12 Yovani Gallardo: 14 

Today Freddy Peralta: 13 

6/6/21 Corbin Burnes: 13 

7/10/08 Dave Bush: 13

The 27-year-old pitcher is now 6-8 this season with a 4.46 ERA. He's struck out 131 batters in 109.0 innings.

Lifetime, he's a 36-25 pitcher with a 3.95 ERA. He's in his sixth year in the big leagues, all with Milwaukee.

The Brewers are now 57-46 after the win while the Reds are 56-48. The two teams have played three series' in the last three weeks. 

Milwaukee will be off on Thursday but will open a series with the Atlanta Braves on Friday night. The Braves are the best team in baseball so it will be a good road test for Milwaukee. 

The first pitch on Friday is set for 7:20 p.m. ET as Adrian Houser (MIL) pitches against Yonny Chirinos (ATL).

Houser is 3-2 with a 3.86 ERA on the season.
