Milwaukee Brewers Dominate Los Angeles Angels with 9-2 Victory

The Milwaukee Brewers delivered an impressive performance with a 9-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels on September 16, 2025, at American Family Field. All-Star pitcher Freddy Peralta was in top form, powering the Brewers with ten strikeouts and securing his National League-leading 17th win of the season.

Freddy Peralta's Record-Tying Performance

Freddy Peralta (17-6) continued his outstanding season by allowing just two hits and one run across six innings, while striking out ten and walking two. Peralta’s dominant outing ties the franchise record for wins in a season, matching the mark set by Zach Davies in 2017, and also makes him the major league leader in victories.

The only blemishes on Peralta's night were a bloop single by Carter Kieboom and Denzer Guzman’s first career home run. Peralta achieved ten or more strikeouts for the 15th time in his career and his first this season, striking out the side in the first, second, and sixth innings.

Christian Yelich Powers the Brewers' Offense

Christian Yelich was instrumental in the Brewers’ offensive surge, hitting his 29th home run with a two-run shot in the fourth inning. Yelich also contributed an RBI double in the first, bringing his total to three RBIs for the game. The Brewers' lineup continued to apply pressure throughout the evening, with Sal Frelick hitting a sacrifice fly, and Caleb Durbin, Andrew Vaughn, and Jackson Chourio each driving in a run. William Contreras added two more RBIs with a single, and Christian Moore launched a solo home run in the seventh.

Angels’ Struggles Continue

Angels starter Caden Dana (0-2) was unable to contain the Brewers, surrendering five runs on eight hits over 3 2/3 innings. The Angels’ offense found little success against Peralta and the Brewers’ bullpen, scoring just twice during the contest. Carter Kieboom made his Angels debut at first base, returning to the majors for the first time since October 2023, and notched a bloop single. The Angels selected Kieboom’s contract prior to the game and placed shortstop Zach Neto on the 10-day injured list with a left hand strain.

Key Moment

The pivotal moment came in the fourth inning when Christian Yelich blasted his 29th home run of the season, a two-run shot that extended Milwaukee's lead and set the tone for the remainder of the game.

Key Stat

Freddy Peralta struck out the side in three different innings and recorded at least ten strikeouts for the 15th time in his career, continuing his run as a strikeout specialist.

Up Next

The Brewers and Angels continue their series as Los Angeles sends right-hander José Soriano (10-10, 4.13 ERA) to the mound against Milwaukee’s Brandon Woodruff (6-2, 3.32 ERA).

In summary

The Milwaukee Brewers showcased dominant pitching and timely hitting to secure a 9-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Freddy Peralta headlined the night with a record-tying win and ten strikeouts, while Christian Yelich’s power at the plate sparked the Brewers’ offense. The Angels will look to regroup as the series continues, while Milwaukee continues their playoff push with momentum on their side.
