August 8 - Freddy Peralta retired the final 20 hitters he faced after allowing a first-inning solo homer to pace the Milwaukee Brewers to a 12-1 victory over the visiting Colorado Rockies on Monday night in the opener of a three-game series.
Peralta matched his career high with 13 strikeouts with no walks in his 94-pitch outing.
Brice Turang's two-run homer with two outs triggered the Brewers' decisive five-run fourth inning.
After being held hitless for three innings, the Brewers got to Peter Lambert (2-3) for five runs after he was one strike away from a scoreless fourth.
Jake Bird relieved Lambert, and William Contreras delivered a two-run single up the middle.
