Freddy Peralta worked five scoreless innings, issuing four walks and allowing two hits while matching Logan Webb in an early pitchers' duel. Brewers took a 1-0 lead on a Caleb Durbin double in the second. After Peralta was removed following 96 pitches, the Giants exploited hittable pitches and Milwaukee miscues. Willy Adames reached on an error, Dominic Smith singled, and Casey Schmitt doubled to tie the game. Luis Matos reached on another error to make it 3-1. Schmitt later hit a three-run homer and Patrick Bailey added a hit, sealing a 7-1 Giants victory.
For five scoreless innings on Saturday evening, San Francisco flailed against Freddy Peralta (15-5), the National League's leader in wins. The 29-year-old was a bit erratic but still effective. He issued four walks but also allowed only two hits, keeping pace with Logan Webb in a classic pitcher's duel. But with the Giants' bats floundering against Peralta, Brewers manager Pat Murphy gave the Giants a major break by yanking his ace after 96 pitches.
With Grant Andersen on the mound and facing a 1-0 deficit, the Giants took advantage of some hittable pitches and a handful of errors to jump all over Milwaukee. Casey Schmitt, starting at second, drove in four runs. Willy Adames, who received another standing ovation before his first at-bat in his old stomping grounds, got on first to lead off after Andruw Monasterio committed an error. Following Dominic Smith's single, Schmitt tied the game with a double to left.
