Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Nine strikeouts in no-decision
Rotowire
Peralta allowed two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out nine over five innings of work Tuesday against the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.
The only damage against Peralta was done on a second-inning, two-run homer by Aaron Hicks. Overall, he had one of his better performances in a while. He generated 20 whiffs, and his nine strikeouts were his highest total since he had 10 on May 2. He also did not give out any free passes for just the second time this year. Peralta has given up a home run in five straight starts and has surrendered 11 total on the season, which is something that has not been an issue for him over the duration of his career. The 27-year-old now owns a 4.55 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB across 65.1 innings this season.

Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Struggles early in quality start
Rotowire
Peralta (5-5) took the loss Thursday in Toronto after he gave up three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks over six innings.
Peralta surrendered a solo shot and a two-run homer during the opening frame, which was enough to pin him with the loss since the Brewers' offense managed just a single run. The 26-year-old held the Blue Jays scoreless from there, but it's the second straight start in which he's allowed multiple long balls. He's also failed to record more than five strikeouts in any of his past five outings. Peralta has yet to find much consistency this year with a 4.62 ERA and 61:25 K:BB through 60.1 innings.
Peralta (5-4) took the loss Friday as the Brewers fell 15-1 to the Giants, coughing up 10 runs (but only four earned) on eight hits and a walk over 2.1 innings. He struck out four.
The entire Milwaukee club lost focus early in the game after Willy Adames was struck in the head by a foul ball while in the dugout and taken to the hospital. Peralta's own error helped contribute to the six unearned runs on his line. The 26-year-old had four quality starts in his five prior outings, so given the circumstances he can get a mulligan on this performance. Peralta will take a 4.80 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 58:23 K:BB through 54.1 innings into his next start, likely to come on the road next week in Toronto.

Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Snares fifth victory
Rotowire
Peralta (5-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over six innings against Tampa Bay. He struck out four.
Peralta did a fantastic job slowing down one of MLB's top offenses, giving up all three of his earned runs on one swing of the bat with Josh Lowe swatting a three-run home run to plate Randy Arozarena and Harold Ramirez in the fourth inning. After opening up the season with seven or more strikeouts in four of his first six starts, Peralta has struggled to replicate his swing-and-miss numbers over his last three appearances, striking out five or fewer in each start. After tough matchups against the Rockies at Coors Field, the Dodgers and the Cardinals prior to playing the Rays on Sunday, Peralta and his fantasy managers should expect a more productive outing in his next projected start, which will likely come against the Giants.

Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Stumbles to third loss
Rotowire
Peralta dropped to 4-3 on the season in Monday's 18-1 loss to the Cardinals, allowing six runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings.
Peralta fell behind early, surrendering a three-run homer to Nolan Arenado in the first inning. He rebounded to allow just one more run over his following four frames, but his outing ended after putting on two of the first three batters in the sixth, with both runners eventually coming around to score. Peralta had been pitching well coming into the contest, notching three straight quality starts during which he allowed just five runs while posting a 23:5 K:BB over 18 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively slated to be a tough road matchup against Tampa Bay this weekend.

Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Strikes out eight in third win
Rotowire
Peralta (3-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two unearned runs on four hits and zero walks over six innings in a 6-2 win over the Tigers. He struck out eight.
The only blemishes on Peralta's ledger came in the fourth. Nick Maton led off the inning by reaching on an error by Brian Anderson, and after the right-hander retired back-to-back hitters, Akil Baddoo and Jake Rogers posted two-out, run-scoring hits. However, both runs were unearned due to the leadoff error, and Peralta cruised through two more innings, lowering his ERA from 3.97 to 3.14. His eight strikeouts and zero walks were both season-best marks, and he currently sports a 31:9 K:BB over 28.2 innings. Wednesday's outing was certainly a bounce-back performance for Peralta, who had given up nine runs over his previous two starts, and he'll look to maintain the momentum during his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for Milwaukee's upcoming three-game set in Colorado.

Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Tagged for loss
Rotowire
Peralta (2-2) took the loss Friday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against Boston. He struck out four.
Peralta nearly delivered a quality start as he recorded the first two outs of the sixth inning before walking consecutive batters. Hoby Milner then allowed both inherited runners to score, ruining Peralta's chance at a win. The 26-year-old only allowed one earned run over his first 12 innings of the season, but his last two starts have seen nine earned runs come across in 10.2 frames. He's lined up to face the Tigers in his next outing.

Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Ineffective in loss to Padres
Rotowire
Peralta (2-1) took the loss Saturday while allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk over five innings in a 10-3 loss against the Padres. He struck out five.
Peralta was staked a 2-0 lead in the first inning, but he immediately wasted that cushion by giving up three runs over the first two frames. He was able to get through the next pair of innings unscathed but a two-run home run by Jake Cronenworth gave the Padres the 5-3 lead, sending Peralta to his first loss of the season. The 26-year-old was outstanding over his first two starts of the season, allowing one run over 12 innings, but he didn't have his best stuff against a tough San Diego lineup. He'll take a 3.18 ERA into a start that's lined up for next weekend against the Red Sox.

Rotowire
Peralta (2-0) earned the win during Sunday's 6-1 victory over the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out seven.
Peralta tossed three shutout frames before allowing an RBI single to Jordan Walker in the fourth, but he got out of the frame by retiring back-to-back batters.

Peralta (1-0) earned the win Monday, allowing no runs on two hits and three walks over six innings against the Mets. He struck out seven.
Peralta was given plenty of run support in his first outing of the year, but he didn't need it. The 26-year-old right-hander threw 51-of-85 pitches for strikes, and while he did battle some control issues, he was able to work around them while picking up the win in his first outing of 2023. Peralta will try and match this success in his next scheduled start Sunday when he squares off against the Cardinals.
Peralta tossed 4.2 scoreless innings in Tuesday's exhibition season finale. He allowed four hits and posted a 5:1 K:BB.
Peralta was locked in during the spring, posting a 3.21 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB in 14.0 innings over four starts. He is lined up to start the Brewers' home opener, which will come April 3 against the Mets.
