Freddy Peralta had a rough outing, allowing five earned runs on five hits and five walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in Thursday's 7-5 win against the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
This performance was a stark contrast to his strong start to the season, where he boasts a 3.18 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP even after the rough outing. The five earned runs and five walks are both season highs for Peralta, potentially signaling issues with his control or mechanics in this game. Despite the Brewers pulling off a win, Peralta's fantasy managers might be concerned about his ability to maintain his excellent early-season form. This game could be a blip on the radar, but it's worth monitoring his next few starts for any patterns of inconsistency.
