The Brewers shook off their highest-scoring inning by an opponent this season and got some insurance with Lorenzo Cain's two-run single in the seventh. The Braves added a run in the eighth against Devin Williams and another in the ninth against Josh Hader, who struck out William Contreras for his ninth save.
“It was a wild game, but we hung on for a win,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “The offense kind of picked up our bullpen and our defense, and it’s been kind of the opposite this year. But the offense picked us up today.”
Peralta (4-1) held Atlanta to two hits and a walk while recording eight strikeouts for a third consecutive appearance.
