Freddy Peralta Shines, Brewers Stumble
by Chase Davis | Brewers Correspondent | Fri, Aug 23rd 8:17am EDT
Freddy Peralta delivered a strong performance, allowing no earned runs and only three hits over five innings in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his solid outing, Peralta walked two and struck out just two, reflecting a game that was more about control and less about overpowering hitters. This season, Peralta has maintained a respectable 3.86 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP, with a 10.4 K/9 rate, though his FIP at 4.18 suggests some underlying concerns. His performance in this game, particularly in limiting runs despite fewer strikeouts, should reassure fantasy managers about his reliability, though the lack of win support could be frustrating. Moving forward, Peralta remains a viable starter in fantasy rotations, especially in formats valuing ERA and WHIP, but his strikeout totals in this outing might raise some eyebrows among those expecting higher K rates.
