MILWAUKEE BREWERS NEWS

Blake Perkins - Three hits, two steals in win Perkins went 3-for-5 with three RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 8-5 win over Atlanta.

Impact Perkins produced a pair of go-ahead plays, delivering an RBI single in the fifth inning and a two-run single in the sixth. He was one of four Brewers to log multiple hits in the contest. He's had inconsistent playing time, but the switch hitter typically is in the lineup versus southpaws, as Perkins continues to platoon with Garrett Mitchell in center field. Perkins is at a .260/.333/.367 slash line with 16 steals, six home runs, 34 RBI and 40 runs scored over 315 plate appearances.

Freddy Peralta - Allows four runs in win Peralta (7-6) allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings, earning the win over Atlanta on Wednesday.

Impact Atlanta started hot with two runs in the first inning and Austin Riley added a two-run home run in the fifth, but Milwaukee was able to take the lead back before Nick Mears relieved Peralta in the bottom of the sixth. This was Peralta's first win since June 30 -- over the five starts in between, he posted a 4.10 ERA and 29:12 K:BB across 26.1 innings. He's at a 4.02 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 155:47 K:BB through 125.1 innings over 23 starts this year. The right-hander's next start is projected to be another tough matchup at home versus the Dodgers.

Sal Frelick - Retreating to bench versus lefty Frelick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact The lefty-hitting Frelick will head to the bench for the second time in three games while the Brewers face off against another southpaw (Chris Sale). Blake Perkins will take Frelick's spot in the outfield, manning center while batting seventh.

Brice Turang - Getting night off against lefty Turang is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact The lefty-hitting Turang will retreat to the bench for the second time in three games while Atlanta sends a lefty (Chris Sale) to the bump. Andruw Monasterio will replace Turang at second base.

Jake Bauers - Heading to bench versus lefty Bauers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact The Brewers are facing off against a left-hander (Chris Sale) for the fourth time in six games, and the lefty-hitting Bauers has found himself on the bench for each of those contests. He still looks to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role while Christian Yelich (back) is on the shelf, but Bauers will cede his spot in the lineup to Gary Sanchez on Wednesday.

William Contreras - Drives in four against Atlanta Contreras went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, a triple, two runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-0 rout of Atlanta.

Impact It's the first time Contreras has banged out multiple extra-base hits in a game since July 1, when he went 3-for-5 with a double and a homer at Coors Field, and his first game with multiple RBI since July 10. The 26-year-old catcher is slashing .259/.385/.563 in 15 games since the All-Star break with a home run, five runs and eight RBI along with an 11:11 BB:K.

Willy Adames - Goes yard twice in rout Adames went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-0 win over Atlanta.

Impact The shortstop launched a pair of two-run shots off Bryce Elder in the first and third innings. It was Adames' second multi-homer performance of the season, with the other coming May 1 against the Rays. Over his last 20 games, he's posted a blistering .329/.391/.633 slash line with six homers, 13 runs and 17 RBI, and Adames sits one long ball short of his fourth straight 20-homer campaign.

Colin Rea - Blanks Atlanta for win No. 10 Rea (10-3) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing five hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings in a 10-0 rout of Atlanta. He struck out nine.

Impact The nine Ks were a season high for Rea, who let only two runners to even get into scoring position all night on a pair of Matt Olson doubles. The right-hander has already won a career-high 10 games this year, but his 3.38 ERA is nearly a full run better than his 4.25 FIP and 4.31 xFIP, so his ability to keep up that pace down the stretch remains in question. Rea lines up to make his next start at home this weekend against the Reds.
