Freddy Peralta Reaches 200 Strikeouts for Third Straight Season in Start at Petco Park

The club plans to line him up for the NLDS opener, with rotation depth depleted.

Overview

  • He became the third pitcher in franchise history with at least three 200-strikeout seasons, joining Yovani Gallardo and Corbin Burnes.
  • The right-hander struck out six in five innings against the Padres to reach 201 on the year, departing with a 3-2 lead.
  • Milwaukee fell 5-4 in 11 innings as San Diego secured a postseason berth.
  • Manager Pat Murphy called Peralta the easy choice for the NLDS Game 1 start on Oct. 4, with his availability a top priority.
  • The Brewers have clinched the NL Central but will not have Brandon Woodruff or José Quintana for the rest of the season, and Misiorowski will not start in the NLDS.
