Milwaukee Brewers Defeat Los Angeles Angels 9-2 with Strong Performances from Woodruff, Frelick, and Perkins

The Milwaukee Brewers delivered a commanding 9-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on September 17, 2025, at American Family Field. Supported by stellar pitching and timely hitting, the Brewers continued their winning momentum against an Angels squad struggling to break out of a losing streak.

Game Recap

Brandon Woodruff shined on the mound for Milwaukee, pitching five efficient innings. He allowed just two hits and one run, racking up nine strikeouts and throwing 52 strikes in 69 pitches. Woodruff, who returned from a long break to manage his workload post-shoulder surgery, improved his record to 7-2.

In a tough break for the Angels, starter José Soriano left the game in the second inning after being struck by a line drive off the bat of Jake Bauers. Soriano sustained a right forearm contusion, but fortunately, x-rays came back negative. Connor Brogdon came in as relief, but the Brewers capitalized quickly.

Blake Perkins provided instant offense with a two-run, opposite-field single, tying his career-high with five RBIs in the game. Shortly after, Sal Frelick connected for a three-run homer to give Milwaukee a 5-0 advantage by the end of the second inning.

The Angels found some offense with Taylor Ward, who homered in both the fourth and sixth innings, but that was not enough to spark a comeback as the Angels fell to their sixth consecutive loss. The Brewers, meanwhile, extended their impressive run by winning four of their last five games, boasting the best record in Major League Baseball at 93-59. The Angels’ record dropped to 69-83.

Key Moment

After Soriano’s early exit, switch-hitter Blake Perkins stepped to the plate left-handed and drove a 2-2 pitch from Brogdon through the left side of the infield, plating two runs and putting the Brewers on the scoreboard for the first time in the game.

Key Stat

Mike Trout was unable to add to his career home run tally, finishing 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. He remains at 399 home runs, with only two homers since August 6 and his latest coming on September 11.

Up Next

The series wraps up with Angels left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (6-11, 4.08 ERA) scheduled to face Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (13-2, 3.25 ERA) in the finale.

In Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers showcased depth in their lineup and pitching staff, clinching a 9-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Key contributions from Brandon Woodruff on the mound and clutch hits from Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick powered Milwaukee’s victory. With the Angels facing injuries and ongoing struggles, the Brewers continue to assert their dominance atop the MLB standings.
