Every member of the Indians’ lineup reached base safely at least once in an 11-6 victory over the Brewers at Progressive Field in Tuesday’s series opener.
Brewers starter Wily Peralta lasted just 2 2/3 innings in his shortest start since May 2013. The 26-year-old right-hander allowed four runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks, striking out one. He labored through each inning, needing 71 pitches to retire eight batters in an outing which featured both diminished velocity and a visit from the team trainer.
Indians starter Josh Tomlin allowed three home runs in his six innings of work, but limited traffic on the basepaths around the blasts. He didn’t walk a batter and allowed two hits outside of the homers, striking out seven.
