Denver, CO – The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 7-1 victory against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night, with Brice Turang, Christian Yelich, and William Contreras delivering seventh-inning home runs. Jackson Churio’s double and triple also played a pivotal role in the Brewers’ win. Freddy Peralta showcased his pitching prowess, striking out six batters in five innings. This victory marks Milwaukee’s sixth win in seven games after an initial four-game losing streak.
During the third inning, the Brewers took control of the game with a four-run surge against Kyle Freeland, highlighted by three consecutive RBI singles. Despite Brenton Doyle’s solo homer in the same inning for the Rockies, the team struggled and fell to a 2-8 record, 1-3 at home. This start matches the franchise’s worst 10-game record, shared with the clubs of 2005 and 2024.
Turang’s home run off Freeland prompted his replacement, followed by Yelich and Contreras’ consecutive home runs enlarging the Brewers’ lead. The Rockies’ debut of outfielder Zac Veen did not sway the outcome, as he managed his first hit with a bunt single in the sixth inning after initially flying out and striking out. Peralta’s strategic pitching, including crucial strikeouts and a groundout, maintained the Brewers’ lead at 4-1.
Despite the strong performance of Rockies’ starters with a 2.61 ERA, Freeland’s pitching allowed five runs in 6 1/3 innings, increasing his ERA from 2.16 to 3.79. The teams are set for another showdown on Wednesday, with Milwaukee starting left-hander Tyler Alexander (1-0, 2.00 ERA) against Colorado’s Antonio Senzatela (0-1, 0.00 ERA).
