San Francisco Giants vs Milwaukee Brewers Box Score on Sep 08, 2022

The Milwaukee bullpen covered seven solid innings after Freddy Peralta departed with a shoulder issue as the Brewers completed a doubleheader sweep with a 4-2 victory over the visiting San Francisco Giants on Thursday.

The Brewers led 4-0 before the Giants scored single runs in the seventh and eighth. Peter Strzelecki (2-1) got the win with two innings of scoreless relief.

Taylor Rogers struck out the side in the ninth for his 31st save, his third in four chances since being acquired from the San Diego Padres in the Josh Hader trade.

Peralta, on the injured list for more than two months until early August due to a shoulder problem, exited after issuing a leadoff walk in the third and throwing 44 pitches. The Brewers announced he came out because of right shoulder fatigue.

Milwaukee scored three runs in the first on just one hit against opener Alex Young (0-1), who faced six batters in just his first start this season out of 18 appearances.

Mike Brosseau walked, Willy Adames singled and Christian Yelich walked to load the bases. Giants third baseman Evan Longoria then couldn't corral Hunter Renfroe's hard-hit grounder, with two runs scoring on the error.

Yelich took third on a flyout and scored on Keston Hiura's sacrifice fly to the warning track in right.

The Brewers made it 4-0 in the sixth when Luis Urias was hit by a pitch with two outs and rookie Garrett Mitchell followed with an RBI double off the wall in left.

San Francisco got a run in the seventh when Mike Yastrzemski hit a leadoff triple and came home when Luis Gonzalez reached on a fielder's choice.

Joc Pederson pulled the Giants within 4-2 with his 22nd homer, a two-out solo shot in the eighth.

The Brewers won the opener 2-1 behind Corbin Burnes, who allowed one run on three hits over eight innings, striking out 14. Yelich and Renfroe accounted for Milwaukee's runs with consecutive RBI doubles in the fourth inning.
