The Milwaukee Brewers made a statement at Truist Park on Tuesday night, dismantling the Atlanta Braves 7-2 behind a relentless offensive attack and another dominant start from Freddy Peralta. The Brewers' bats came alive early against Joey Wentz, tagging the Braves' starter for five runs in just 5.1 innings, with Isaac Collins (2-for-4, 2 RBI) and Andrew Vaughn (1-for-3, 2 RBI) delivering the biggest blows. Peralta, meanwhile, carved through Atlanta's lineup with precision—striking out seven over five innings while allowing just one run on four hits, further cementing his status as Milwaukee's ace with his ERA dipping to 3.03.

Atlanta's lone bright spots came from Eli White, whose solo homer in the ninth briefly interrupted the Brewers' momentum, and Drake Baldwin (2-for-4), but it wasn't nearly enough to overcome the deficit. The loss drops the Braves further behind in the division race, while the Brewers—fueled by timely hitting and lockdown pitching—continue their surge as one of the NL's hottest teams. With Peralta anchoring the rotation and their lineup finding its rhythm, Milwaukee looks every bit the contender they aimed to be.
