Freddy Peralta turns in his shortest start of the season as the Brewers fall short of sweeping the Cubs at American Family Field.

Christian Yelich was down 0-2 quick against Imanaga but battled back to an eight-pitch at-bat. He ended up striking out and Imanaga struck out the side. However, the game was tied and the Brewers made him throw 24 pitches in the first inning.

While typical Brewers front office caveats apply — they’re never going to say no to conversations on any player — general manager Matt Arnold indicated July 18 ahead of his team’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers that he has every expectation that Peralta is still taking the ball in a Brewers uniform after the deadline.
