**Brewers Ride Peralta’s Dominance, Power Surge to Seventh Straight Win**
MILWAUKEE – Freddy Peralta delivered a stellar performance, and the Milwaukee Brewers offense erupted late, as they cruised to an 8-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday, extending their winning streak to seven games.
Peralta (11-4), an All-Star selection, was dominant on the mound, carrying a no-hitter into the sixth inning. He ultimately pitched 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out seven. His outing was only marred by a single run scored in the seventh before exiting the game.
The Brewers offense, largely quiet until the late innings, exploded in the eighth. Jackson Chourio blasted a three-run homer, and Brice Turang added a solo shot, padding Milwaukee’s lead.
Washington’s Jake Irvin (7-5) pitched five innings, allowing four hits and striking out five. However, a costly error by Nationals third baseman Brady House in the third inning opened the door for three unearned Brewers runs, including a two-run single by Anthony Seigler, marking his first career RBI.
The Brewers, now a season-best 16 games above .500 (56-40), saw right fielder Sal Frelick exit the game in the third inning with left hamstring soreness after making a sliding catch.
The Nationals were without shortstop C.J. Abrams due to minor right-shoulder soreness, and made roster moves before the game, optioning Shinnosuke Ogasawara to Triple-A and recalling Andry Lara from Double-A.
Looking ahead, the Brewers travel to face the Los Angeles Dodgers, while the Nationals return home to host the San Diego Padres, both series beginning on Friday.
