Peralta grinds through seven innings in 1-0 loss to Miami Marlins
Box Score
There won’t be many games in which Freddy Peralta allows one run over seven innings that result in a loss. That was the unfortunate reality for the Brewers on Wednesday night in a 1-0 loss to the Miami Marlins.
Peralta’s final line of one run allowed over seven innings was impressive enough, but he managed a lack of fastball command to limit the Marlins to just four hits and walk. He caught the Marlins for 13 whiffs on 49 swings (27%) en route to seven strikeouts.
The very first plate appearance of the game told a meaningful story. Peralta couldn’t place his fastball with precision, resulting in a leadoff home run to Jazz Chisholm Jr. After throwing three straight fastballs for balls, Peralta went with the heater again in back-to-back pitches. With a pitch shading towards the outside edge, Chisholm Jr. knocked a home run for the game’s only score.
While Peralta was unable to find a consistent rhythm with his fastball, he made the necessary adjustments to succeed through the rest of the outing. His changeup and slider, especially, were vital components to his durable outing. He limited hard contact, forced groundballs, and had a healthy number of whiffs. It was just the third start this season in which he used his fastball less than 50% of the time.
The offense left Peralta in the dust despite his determined effort. The Marlins Jesus Luzardo proved equally capable of shutting down an offense. Luzardo went eight shutout innings, allowing just three hits, no walks, and four strikeouts. Although four strikeouts won’t set any records, Luzardo induced 18 whiffs, setting the stage for his offspeed pitches.
The Brewers were unable to consistently square up the ball, leading to routine plays for the Marlins defense nearly the entirety of the night. The Brewers only created a few threatening situations.
The first came in the second inning when Willy Adames and Gary Sanchez hit a pair of singles to get a runner in scoring position. With two outs, Willy Adames nearly made a spectacular baserunning play when he caught third baseman Jake Burger lingering a long way from the base. Adames risked the opportunity for a stolen base but was just barely caught out on the basepaths. Although it was an out, it was a daring idea that nearly paid off.
The Brewers failed to get another baserunner until the eighth inning. Gary Sanchez collected his second hit of the game to left field to put the tying run on base. A force out left Jackson Chourio on first, who ultimately stole second base. The Brewers only had one out to work with as Owen Miller flew out to right field.
Milwaukee combined for just four hits, a disappointing finish to a potential series winner. If there was a silver lining, it was Peralta’s ability to adapt even without his fastball as a trusty weapon. He shut down the Marlins offense with his dominant slider and changeup. It was an unconvincing offensive performance without much offensive support for the team’s ace.
The Brewers will have an off day before traveling to play the Boston Red Sox. First pitch will be Friday at 3:10 p.m. Bryse Wilson is set to start against Kutter Crawford.

Mariners Suffer Brutal Walk-Off Loss Against Miami Marlins; Here’s How it Happened
The Seattle Mariners suffered a third straight loss on Friday night, falling 3-2 to the Miami Marlins in extra innings. The M’s had a 2-0 lead and failed to add-on offensively, and then missed a chance to score the gifted runner from second in the top of the tenth inning. With the loss, Seattle is now 44-34 and as always, here’s how it happened.
The M’s simply failed to capitalize on their opportunity. The Marlins entered play as one of the worst teams in baseball, with pitcher Trevor Rogers sporting a 1-8 record with an ERA over five. Instead of knocking him around early, Seattle got up 2-0 after two innings and then sat back and did nothing for the rest of the game, allowing the Marlins to hang around so they could eventually win it.
The M’s were up 1-0 in the first after a sacrifice fly from Mitch Garver and made it 2-0 in the second on a triple by Ryan Bliss.
Julio Rodriguez made a pair of incredible catches in the first two innings, this one being the second of the two.
The Marlins tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning on solo shots by Bryan De La Cruz and Josh Bell.
After a single, a stolen base, and an infield single in the top of the eighth inning, the M’s had runners at first and third with no one out. However, J.P. Crawford, Dylan Moore and Julio Rodriguez all struck out to end the threat and strand the runners.
Seattle also failed to score in the top of the 10th, with Austin Voth giving up a walk-off single to Tim Anderson on the first pitch of the bottom half.
Ryne Stanek worked for the second straight day, meaning he’s likely unavailable for Saturday… Jesus Luzardo was scratched on Saturday for Miami… Rodriguez had a single… The M’s will start Logan Gilbert on Saturday… George Kirby worked 7.0 innings, allowing only the two runs.

Latin Swimwear Brands Were The Highlight Of Miami Swim Week, The Shows
There are the four key fashion weeks that trot the globe, from New York to Paris, London and Milan—and then there is Miami Swim Week, The Shows. This biannual event has come to define the aesthetic evolution of swimwear, but also its environmental impact. This year featured over 50 events, 100 fashion designers, and over 20 satellite locations, making it the largest swim week with a focus on sustainable swimwear and supporting women.
This season, which ran from May 29 to June 3, Latin American designers were in the spotlight. From Colombian to Brazilian brands, attendees were able to glimpse the forthcoming trends in swimwear, from iridescent hues to crochet cover ups. Here’s some of the swimwear brands to pack for your next tropical summer vacation.
Iridescent Hues
Argentinian brand Flavia Palmiero had golden swimsuits trot down the runway, with a focus on lime green bikinis and animal print cover ups. Founded by Buenos Aires-born actor and writer Flavia Palmiero, who not only designs swimwear but comfy womenswear for everyday use, from jeans to coats. As Palmiero says: “Women today need to look good, comfortable, practical and sexy.” There was also a runway show from Salpica, a sustainable brand designed in Puerto Rico with materials made from recycled ocean plastics, and provides UV protection.
Bright Colors
Brazilian brands made a splash at swim week with Badi Swimwear, a brand that uses colors from the Brazilian flag in their swimwear. This season’s collection is heavy on triangle bikinis, colorful combinations of greens and yellows, sparkly touches and strappy styles. The brand brought energy from the tropics to the runway. Another Brazilian brand who brought bright hues to the runway is GlueGlue, a fashion brand aimed to help protect beachgoers from the hot summer sun. They design beach hats, visors, turbans, cover-ups and shirts that protect from the sun’s rays.
Shimmering Fabrics
Colombian brands brought innovative swim styles to the runway with Amarotto Swimwear, a brand that featured fringe and crochet cover-ups, dresses and feather headpieces in their swimwear showcase, which focused on colorful prints, strapless bikinis, and sheer zebra print dresses. Meanwhile, Miami-based brand Andrea Venturoli featured metallic, ruffle two-pieces with a vintage flair, and even brought silky women’s pant suits onto the runway. DOB featured shimmery fabrics in their latest collection, as well as crochet cover ups and pastel hued bikinis. This summer is all about pink swimsuits, animal prints and crochet.
Unique Cutouts
Mexican brand Liech Antel Swimwear brought a high fashion aesthetic to one-piece swimwear with angular cutouts. They also featured gold accents, transparent tulle, banded corset-like one pieces, and straps that call to mind jewelry. Their flowing cover ups are couture-like in their creations.
Peruvian Prints
Kene Kaya, founded by Alessandra Durand in Peru, is an ethical fashion brand inspired by the indigenous cultural traditions of the Peruvian Amazon, incorporating local materials and embroidery into their designs for both swimwear and resort wear. They work with an all women team of Shipibo-Konibo artisans on creating the embroidery for their garments.
Mediterranean Spirit
Miami swimwear brand Hera Sea brought a European flair to the runway, featuring its founder, model Laura Monroy pairing up a blue swimsuit with a tiara. Their latest collection featured crochet accents, patterned two-pieces, color gradient bikinis and what Monroy calls “igniting the goddess within every woman.”
Supporting Wellness & Programming
The sponsors brought pop-ups around the runway, featuring wellness experiences from the innovative, frizz-free Laifen Tech hair dryers, to Milan Laser hair removal, sustainable aluminum Kopu water and the ROLUS Sparkling Hydration Drink.
For the uninitiated, these are the fashion-friendly Miami’s hotspots that hosted this year’s events, so you can add them to your list to visit next time you visit Miami: Seaspice, Baia Beach Club, STK Steakhouse, Fabel Miami, Casa Matilda, Villa Azur, Nikki Beach Miami and Hutong Miami. They all offered offsite event experiences during Miami Miami Swim Week, The Shows, but continue to have a stylish vibe, year round.
