(Milwaukee, WI) – Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta extended his scoreless innings streak to 29, three shy of the team record Teddy Higuera set in 1987, but it wasn’t enough as the Brewers fell to the Phillies 2-0 Thursday afternoon. Peralta struck out eight and allowed three walks and two hits while throwing 92 pitches over five innings. The Brewers had two runners on with nobody out in the fourth and sixth innings, but Phillies starter Ranger Suarez worked his way out of both jams. Milwaukee was 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position. The Brewers open a three-game series at Pittsburgh Friday.
Pregame at 5:05pm. First pitch at 5:40pm on AM1240 & 96.5FM.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A’ja Wilson had 31 points and eight rebounds, Jackie Young added 20 points and the Las Vegas Aces beat the first-place Minnesota Lynx 97-87 to set a franchise record with their 13th straight victory. Natisha Hiedeman scored 22 points off the bench for Minnesota while Courtney Williams added 14 points and Napheesa Collier had 12 points. Wilson scored 30-plus points for 12th time this season to tie a WNBA record. The Aces, who lost by 53 points to Minnesota in their last meeting on Aug. 2, became the seventh team in WNBA history to reach 13 wins in a row in a single season.
Maya Moore and Sylvia Fowles helped lead Minnesota to WNBA greatness as part of the Lynx dynasty that won four titles in seven years. Now the two will enter the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend when they are enshrined as part of the 2025 class, along with Sue Bird. Moore and Fowles will join former teammates Lindsay Whalen and Seimone Augustus, who are already in the Hall of Fame. It’s the first time that four players from the same WNBA team will be in the Hall of Fame. The Boston Celtics hold the record with nine players from their 1962-63 NBA championship team in the Hall.
