One night after the National League All-Star Game pitchers were announced, the Milwaukee-Los Angeles Dodgers series begins with a matchup of aces who will both be part of the NL staff July 15 in Atlanta.
Freddy Peralta takes the mound against the Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto as the two clubs begin a three-game series.
It’s not as if Peralta would need extra motivation going against the National League’s top team, but the visiting Dodgers also have five all-star players, including Yamamoto. Peralta is Milwaukee’s lone all-star representative, despite the Brewers being in second place in the NL Central Division.
However, the Peralta-Yamamoto duel may not get as much attention as the July 8 matchup between Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski and Dodgers veteran Clayton Kershaw. In his last start against the Chicago White Sox, Kershaw reached the rare milestone of 3,000 career strikeouts.
The Brewers, the third team in the NL wild card standings, trail the Chicago Cubs by four games.
