GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- From Jorge Lopez to Wily Peralta to Hiram Burgos, it was an excellent 24 hours for Brewers pitchers in the World Baseball Classic.
After Lopez pitched into the fifth inning of Puerto Rico's win over Mexico on Saturday, Peralta pitched four solid innings of the Dominican Republic's extra-inning thriller over Colombia, and Burgos delivered three innings of hitless relief for Puerto Rico in its win over Italy on Sunday.
Peralta is expected to return to Brewers camp because he was in the Dominican Republic's designated pitcher pool, and was only to be available in the first round.
