MILWAUKEE — Garrett Mitchell hit an RBI double and the Milwaukee Brewers withstood Freddy Peralta’s early exit to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 and complete a doubleheader sweep Thursday night.

In the opening game, Corbin Burnes struck out 14 and allowed three hits in eight shutout innings in a 2-1 victory.

Peralta left the second game due to fatigue in his right shoulder after walking Tommy La Stella to lead off the third inning. The Brewers led 3-0 at the time.

The Brewers are at home for 20 of their last 26 games, a stretch that started with this double header. They’re hoping that schedule helps them go on a late surge as they attempt to chase down the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres for the NL’s final wild-card spots.

“Having all these home games at the end is definitely going to help us with this playoff push, but it takes some good baseball for us to get in there,” Burnes said.

Burnes entered this doubleheader having allowed 17 earned runs in 21 innings over his last four starts. But he dominated the Giants and showcased the form that enabled him to win the NL Cy Young Award last season.

He struck out 10 or more batters for the ninth time this season to tie the Brewers’ single-season record set by Ben Sheets in 2004. Burnes (10-6) also holds the franchise record for double-digit strikeout games with 21.

The 14 strikeouts were one off Burnes’ career high. He had 15 in a 10-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 11, 2021.

“Nothing new,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “That’s Corbin Burnes. That was as good as we’ve seen him. His stuff was carrying through the zone. He was hitting the top of the zone. His cutter was working well. The ball was moving all over the place. It’s tough to name five better starters in baseball.”

Burnes needed to be at his best to outduel San Francisco’s Jakob Junis (4-5), who struck out four and allowed three hits, two runs and two walks in six innings. Junis entered in the second inning, relieving opener Scott Alexander.

The Giants opened the scoring in the third inning as LaMonte Ward hit a two-out single and came home on Mike Yastrzemski’s double. Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich and Hunter Renfroe hit consecutive RBI doubles in the fourth.

Milwaukee took the lead for good in the second game by scoring three runs in the first inning off Alex Young (0-1). Only one of the runs was earned.

Joc Pederson homered for the Giants in the second game.

Milwaukee’s Peter Strzelecki (2-1) pitched two innings of scoreless relief to get the win in the second game.

Devin Williams got his 11th save in 12 opportunities in the first game. Taylor Rogers finished the second game for his 31st save in 39 opportunities.

The two teams combined for just 16 hits in the double header. The Brewers had nine and the Giants had seven.

SIBLING RIVALRIES

This doubleheader had two sets of brothers facing off.

Taylor Rogers and Giants reliever Tyler Rogers are identical twins. San Francisco’s Scott Alexander is the older brother of Brewers right-hander Jason Alexander.

Jason Alexander is the Brewers’ scheduled starter Friday, so he was unlikely to pitch in Thursday’s doubleheader.

According to Elias Sports Bureau, the last time two sets of brothers played against each other in the same game was Aug. 6, 1977, when St. Louis’ Hector Cruz and Bob Forsch and Houston’s Jose Cruz and Ken Forsch all played in a game the Cardinals won 3-1. Elias’ records only accounted for instances in which all four siblings saw action in the game.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Brewers IF Luis Urías was hit in the helmet by a pitch from Sean Hjelle in the sixth inning of the second game. Urías remained in the game after a brief delay.

RHP Justin Topa was designated as the Brewers’ 29th man for the doubleheader. Topa hadn’t pitched in the majors since Sept. 3, 2021, as he recovered from a third elbow surgery. … The Brewers also reinstated INF Mike Brosseau (right oblique) from the injured list and optioned OF Esteury Ruiz to Triple-A Nashville.

UP NEXT

Giants: Stay on the road to begin a three-game series with the Chicago Cubs. Scheduled starters Friday are LHP Carlos Rodón (12-7, 2.92 ERA) for the Giants and LHP Drew Smyly (5-8, 3.84) for the Cubs.

Brewers: Stay home to start a three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds. Jason Alexander (2-2, 5.03) starts for the Brewers on Friday with LHP Nick Lodolo (3-5, 3.95) pitching for the Reds.

Milwaukee ranks third in the nation for residents without access to running water at home, according to a new report from Kings College London.

The report found that there are approximately 3,000 households in Milwaukee with no water pipes – if four people lived in one house, it would mean 12,000 people in the city of Milwaukee do not have access to water at home.

This number has remained unchanged since 2000, according to the report.

As other cities have improved, Milwaukee’s ranking jumped from 20th to 3rd among the metropolitan areas with the highest relative proportion of household poverty between 2000 and 2017.

We see no change in poverty in plumbing equates to no progress,” says the report. “Stagnation should be understood as a wake-up call to the heads of state and government in these cities to prioritize measures that are geared towards infrastructural equity and supply for all households.”

Most of these houses belong to people of color in poor areas.

But the city of Milwaukee says the report is incorrect.

“We have water meters on every apartment building in Milwaukee,” said Jeff Fleming, director of communications for Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. “It goes against logic for anyone to claim that there are thousands of uninstalled homes in Milwaukee.”

The report found that other cities across the country, including San Francisco and Phoenix, are facing similar problems, but Milwaukee’s history of segregation and redlining has exacerbated plumbing poverty as well as the city’s location in the Rust Belt. The unforgiving downsizing of Milwaukee’s heavy industrial sector that began in the 1970s hit the city’s black middle class hardest, and parts of the city never recovered.

“The legacy of redlining, institutional discrimination and urbanism against blacks have created an unequal and unfair environment for people of color, especially black Milwaukeans,” the report said.

In 2017, 28 percent of those with incomplete plumbing were black, although blacks make up only 16.1 percent of metropolitan Milwaukee’s population.

“Future research is needed to examine the geography of overrepresentation among black Milwaukeeans and to examine whether the unequal outcomes of poverty outcomes in plumbing represent a new form of infrastructural redlining in the city,” the report said.

Kings College London has studied a handful of cities. Austin, Texas jumped from 17th to fifth place; Cleveland, 33rd through sixth; Nashville from 22nd to 12th; and Seattle from March 37th to 14th

A report published last year by Marc Levine, a professor emeritus of history, economic development, and urban research at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, found that Milwaukee ranks last in the study of racial inequality in the country’s 50 largest metropolitan areas .

Summerfest, PrideFest, Polish Fest, German Fest and Festa Italiana have already postponed or canceled their plans for 2021.

But the Milwaukee Irish Fest is still in August, officials said on Wednesday.

The board of the festival’s parent company, CelticMKE, decided in a meeting on Tuesday evening to hold a personal event in Maier Festival Park. This emerges from an email CelticMKE Executive Director Mike Mitchell sent to Irish Fest supporters on Wednesday. The organization confirmed the news on Wednesday evening on Facebook.

The Irish festival is scheduled for August 20-22 and lasts three days instead of the usual four days for this 40th anniversary.

“Our festival prep is about prioritizing the wellbeing and safety of our customers, volunteers, salespeople, entertainers and employees,” said Mitchell in a press release released early Wednesday evening. “With the introduction of vaccinations, we are comfortable taking the steps to create an Irish experience this summer that is safe for everyone to enjoy.”

“We will do everything we can to ensure a safe environment,” continued Mitchell. “We will make any necessary adjustments to our operations and change the layout to comply with regulations, restrictions, and recommendations as of the date of issue.” our festival. ”

Irish festival officials said there will be disinfection stations across the site and the festival will improve its cleaning protocols.

The festival had around 100,000 visitors in 2019, but capacity this year may be limited, according to the press release. Officials are urging festival goers to buy tickets when they go on sale in the coming weeks to guarantee entry.

Mask requirements, rapid tests, and vaccination records are possible concepts discussed by event industry executives for the first U.S. festivals since the pandemic began, but no hard and fast protocol has been drawn up.

A line-up will be posted later this spring, and a schedule will be posted this summer.

Like practically every other summer event in the City of Festivals last year, a personal Irish festival has been canceled in 2020. Instead, officials organized a 33-hour virtual festival last August, a mix of new remote performances and presentations, and archive concert material that had more than 42,000 views and helped offset the $ 200,000 already spent on the scrapped personal event had been. According to the press release, a virtual component will also be available this year.

Given the ongoing uncertainty, most of the rallies in Milwaukee for May, June and July have been canceled or postponed.

The German Festival, the Polish Festival, the Festa Italiana, the Locust Street Festival for Music and Art and the Milwaukee Highland Games have been canceled for the second time in a row. The June Lakefront Festival of Art is virtual only, PrideFest organizers have dropped plans for June in hopes of hosting an event in October, and the Summer Festival has been postponed from June and July to three weekends in September. And a postponed Kenny Chesney concert at American Family Field will again be postponed to 2022.

However, with vaccination rates soaring, there is hope that the country will be able to achieve herd immunity by late summer, making big festivals possible again. The previous Wednesday, Bonnaroo in Tennessee had announced a stacked line-up for September 2-5, led by Foo Fighters, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion and Tyler, The Creator. Billie Eilish, Green Day and Tame Impala to headline the Life Is Beautiful festival in Las Vegas in September, while other major events such as the Governor’s Ball in New York, Outside Lands in San Francisco and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival announced dates for them have September and October.

The Maier Festival Park is closer to home and has several events on the calendar in late summer and autumn, including the Mexican Fiesta and the Black Arts Fest MKE in August as well as five concerts in the reconstructed American Family Insurance Amphitheater from July to September, the headliners of the summer festival not yet included for this September to be confirmed. But as the pandemic continues, that calendar will remain tentative.
