Freeland (5-7) allowed an unearned run on three hits and struck out four for his ninth quality start of the season. The 31-year-old left-hander improved to 5-3 in his last 13 starts since returning from a left elbow strain that landed him on the injured list on June 23rd. Freeland allowed a base bit to Issac Collins in the second inning and then retired the next 14 batters. Relievers Seth Halvorsen, Angel Chivilli and Angel Chivilli teamed up for three hitless innings of relief. Halverson pitched a 1-2-3 seventh. Chivilli handled the eighth, and Kinley retired the side in order in the ninth, extending his career-high save total to 11 out of 12 chances. Hunter Goodman hit a solo homer in the third inning off Milwaukee starter Freddy Peralta (10-8), tying the game. Hillard hit a two-out, three-run homer off Hoby Milner in the fifth inning that gave Freeland a 4-1 cushion. Hillard also homered in Saturday night's game after replacing Brenton Doyle in center in the fifth inning. Peralta gave up three runs on seven hits, walked two, struck out four and missed a chance at his first three-game winning streak this season. William Contreras singled in the first, advanced on a ground out, took third on third baseman Ryan McMahon's throwing error and scored on Rhys Hoskins' base hit. Collins, the 10th Brewer to make his major league debut this season, singled in the second and stole second.
