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

That's going to be the case with the Milwaukee Brewers as well, but there's more to follow as well. Milwaukee is the best team in baseball. Milwaukee entered play on Wednesday with a 64-43 record before its series finale against the Chicago Cubs.

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.
