With usual high-leverage arms Josh Hader and Trevor Gott unavailable for Wednesday’s series finale against the San Diego Padres, the Brewers had to turn to an unlikely source to work the middle innings ahead of Brad Boxberger and the temporarily-promoted Devin Williams.
That source turned out to be Luis Perdomo, who entered in the sixth inning after Aaron Ashby allowed a two-out single. He promptly induced a ground ball to shortstop to end the frame. After the Brewers scored two runs, Perdomo returned to the mound to throw a scoreless seventh with help from a web gem by Kolten Wong.
