Peralta did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over 5.1 innings in a 6-5 victory over the Cubs. He struck out 10.
Peralta allowed the leadoff man to reach base in three of the six innings in which he worked and the Cubs made him pay, with the final two runs off the right-hander coming on a Cody Bellinger home run in the sixth. Still, Peralta was able to limit the damage thanks to his 10 strikeouts, which matched his season high. He has now allowed at least three runs in three straight starts and in eight of his last 10. He's also walked at least three batters in three of his last four appearances.
