Caleb Durbin, Freddy Peralta help Brewers defeat White Sox

Caleb Durbin smacked a two-run single to key a four-run sixth, Isaac Collins homered, and Freddy Peralta pitched six strong innings to lift the visiting Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-2 win against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.

Andrew Benintendi and Luis Robert Jr. connected on back-to-back home runs in the first inning for Chicago, but the White Sox managed just two other hits against Brewers pitching.

Peralta (3-2) won for the second time in three starts, scattering two runs and three hits with three walks and five strikeouts. His final inning was his most efficient, as Peralta needed just five pitches to complete the sixth.

Joey Ortiz collected two hits to help the Brewers win consecutive games for the first time since taking three in a row from April 15-18.

The White Sox, who walked 10 batters, have lost six of eight and 12 of 15.

Milwaukee opened the scoring with a long ball of its own, as Collins belted his first career home run with one out in the first inning. Collins drilled a cutter from Chicago opener Tyler Gilbert over the left-field wall.

Chicago responded in the bottom half with its first set of consecutive home runs this season. Benintendi tied the game with a solo blast against Peralta before Robert Jr. gave the White Sox the lead with another home run three pitches later.

Gilbert, a left-hander, scattered one run and one hit in two innings with one walk and three strikeouts before giving way to righty Bryse Wilson.

Pitching against his former team, Wilson (0-1) allowed three runs and two hits in 3 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out one.

Milwaukee seized control with a four-run sixth. William Contreras tied the game with an RBI single before Brandon Eisert hit Sal Frelick with a pitch with the bases loaded to force in the go-ahead run.

Durbin knocked a two-run single one batter later.

The Brewers capped the scoring in the eighth on Jackson Chourio’s RBI single and a run-scoring groundout by Collins.
