Blake Perkins Speeds Up Brewers in 6-2 Victory

Perkins Pitches a Gem

In a game that was all about pitching, Blake Perkins took the mound for the Brewers and delivered a gem. The right-hander worked seven innings, allowing just one run on three hits. He struck out four batters and walked two.

Perkins' performance was especially impressive considering that he was facing a tough A's lineup. Oakland has one of the best offenses in the league, but Perkins was able to keep them in check all day long.

His outing was a major boost for the Brewers, who have been struggling to find consistency on the mound this season. Perkins' outing was a reminder of what he is capable of, and it gives the Brewers a much-needed boost heading into the second half of the season.

Brewers Offense Backs Perkins

The Brewers offense also did its part to support Perkins. The team scored six runs on 10 hits, including two home runs from Ryan Braun and Keston Hiura.

Braun's home run was a solo shot in the first inning, which gave the Brewers an early lead. Hiura's home run was a two-run shot in the fourth inning, which extended the Brewers' lead to 4-1.

The Brewers offense has been struggling lately, but they were able to come alive against the A's. The team's six runs were their most in a game since July 4.

Bullpen Does Its Job

The Brewers bullpen did its job in the eighth and ninth innings to preserve the victory. Josh Hader pitched a perfect eighth inning, and Corey Knebel worked around a two-out walk to earn the save in the ninth.

The bullpen's performance was a welcome sight for the Brewers, who have had some struggles in the late innings this season. The bullpen's outing was a reminder of what they are capable of, and it gives the Brewers a much-needed boost heading into the second half of the season.

Brewers Win Series

The Brewers' victory over the A's gave them a 2-1 series win. The Brewers are now 5-5 on their current road trip, and they are 48-44 overall.

The Brewers will return home to face the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. The Cubs are 45-47 overall, and they are 17-19 at home this season.
