With both teams coming in playing well, the Brewers and Reds, perhaps the two most threatening-looking teams in the NL Central at the moment, started a three-game series tonight with Freddy Peralta taking on the electric Hunter Greene.
After a nice pre-game ceremony recognizing Bill “Rock” Schroeder for his 30 years as the Brewers’ primary color commentator on TV, Peralta got the game started in the team’s light blue City Connect jerseys. Peralta got quick outs on TJ Friedl and Elly De La Cruz to start the game, but Jeimer Candelario (who has been hot) nearly left the yard on a ball that ended up in the corner for a double.
