August 8 – Freddy Peralta retired the final 20 hitters he faced after allowing a first-inning solo homer to pace the Milwaukee Brewers to a 12-1 victory over the visiting Colorado Rockies on Monday night in the opener of a three-game series.
Peralta (8-8) allowed just one runner in seven innings, a one-out blast in the first by Ezequiel Tovar, who hit his 11th home run of the season. Peralta matched his career high with 13 strikeouts with no walks in his 94-pitch outing.
Elvis Peguero and Andrew Chafin each tossed a perfect inning to preserve the one-hitter and maintain Milwaukee’s lead of 1 1/2 games over Cincinnati in the National League Central. The Reds beat the Miami Marlins 5-2 earlier Monday.
Brice Turang’s two-run homer with two outs triggered the Brewers’ decisive five-run fourth inning. Milwaukee added four runs in the eighth on a solo home run by Tyrone Taylor and a three-run shot by Sal Frelick. It was Taylor’s fourth homer of the season and Frelick’s third.
After being held hitless for three innings, the Brewers got to Peter Lambert (2-3) for five runs after he was one strike away from a scoreless fourth.
Frelick walked to open the inning and Lambert retired the next two hitters. Turang then lined a 1-2 pitch 383 feet to right for his sixth homer. Brian Anderson tripled off the wall in right center and Taylor followed with an RBI single to make it 3-1.
Taylor advanced to third on a bloop single to shallow left by Christian Yelich, who took second on the throw. Jake Bird relieved Lambert, and William Contreras delivered a two-run single up the middle.
Lambert allowed five runs on four hits in 3 2/3 innings, striking out four and walking three.
Milwaukee added three runs in the seventh off Connor Seabold. Yelich hit a leadoff single and Contreras followed with an RBI double. Contreras advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Frelick’s double. Andruw Monasterio singled in Frelick to make it 8-1.

Wisconsin holiday gas prices falling
Holiday travel comes at a good time – because GasBuddy experts predict nationwide gas prices will be at their lowest point on Christmas Day since 2020.
MILWAUKEE – Thousands across Wisconsin are expected to hit the road for the holiday. The travel comes at a good time – because GasBuddy experts predict nationwide gas prices will be at their lowest point on Christmas Day since 2020.
At Good Hope and Green Bay roads, Victor Tran is filling up – and it’s not a bad time to do so.
“The gas right now. Very, very good right now. They’re getting lower. Better than they were before,” Trans said.

According to AAA, the average for a gallon of regular gas in Wisconsin is around $2.82 per gallon. The average in Milwaukee County on Sunday, Dec. 22 was around $2.79. That is lower than Ozaukee County with an average of around $2.93. All those prices are below the $3 per gallon national average.
Patrick De Haan is the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“It’s the seasonality that’s really been the primary reason for gas prices that have fallen compared to where they were this summer,” De Haan said. “In the last couple of days we have seen a big jump in some parts of Wisconsin ahead of the holiday. That has to do with oil prices jumping up.”
But De Haan believes prices will once again fall in Milwaukee. He suggests waiting until closer to Christmas to fill up.
GasBuddy suggests people always check fuel prices before filling up – especially when crossing the state line.

“I do think a high number of Americans are likely going to be hitting the road in light of the relatively low gas prices,” De Haan said.
De Haan predicts prices will rise after the cold winter months.
“What goes down eventually will go up in the spring,” De Haan said.
MILWAUKEE – A 25-year-old Milwaukee man is accused of shooting another man near a gas station near 14th and North. The accused is Dreaten Burch – and he faces a single charge of first-degree reckless injury.
According to the criminal complaint, Milwaukee police responded on Sunday evening, Dec. 8 to a shooting near 14th and North Avenue. Officers spoke with relatives of the shooting victim who came home with a gunshot wound to his face. They believed he had been at a nearby gas station.
That same night, a detective went to Froedtert Hospital where the shooting victim was being treated for his wound. He indicated he “exchanged words with the driver of a white vehicle, then ran west on North Avenue and got shot in the face as he ran,” the complaint says. The victim said he did not see who shot him.

Milwaukee police responded to the Citgo gas station near 14th and North and reviewed surveillance video showing the suspect and victim. The complaint says the “video shows that at about 5:31 p.m., a man walks into Citgo, then leaves and walks through the parking lot. At about 5:33 p.m., a white vehicle turns into the parking lot and appears to nearly strike the man in the parking lot, who has to avoid the vehicle. The vehicle parks, then a suspect exits the driver’s door, then heads in the same direction as the first man.”
Investigators found a casing and unspent cartridge northeast of the intersection of 14th and North. Police “later found additional surveillance video showing the man and suspect heading to this location, and showing the man returning to the white vehicle,” the complaint says.
Investigators reviewed photos of the suspect vehicle. They also queried the Flock Safety database and found a matching vehicle within three days of the incident. Officers had previously stopped the vehicle — and identified the driver as Dreaten Burch.

Burch was arrested on Dec. 9. When police tried to question him about the shooting incident at the gas station, Burch “said he may have been at the gas station and may have been in the car, but he didn’t know about anything else,” the complaint says.
Burch made his initial appearance in Milwaukee County court on Saturday, Dec. 14. Cash bond was set at $10,000.
