Peralta Overcomes Injury Setback as Brewers Face Guardians in Close Matchup

On the other hand, Cleveland starting pitcher Ben Lively has also impressed with two solid performances, allowing just one run in 11 innings. Both teams have had mixed results in their recent games, with Milwaukee losing three straight and Cleveland winning five of their last seven.

Although a close game is anticipated, the Guardians are expected to secure a late victory with key hitting and solid bullpen support from Emmanuel Clase.
