MILWAUKEE (AP) — All-Star Freddy Peralta pitched one-run ball through 6 2/3 innings, Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang homered and the Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to seven games with an 8-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday.

Peralta (11-4) carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Jacob Young, Washington’s No. 9 hitter, slapped a hit through the infield between third and short. The 29-year-old right-hander got the first four Nationals to open the game and rebounded after Turang’s two-base fielding error on Luis García Jr.’s grounder in the second inning by retiring the next 12 batters.

Peralta, who allowed three hits and a walk and struck out seven, left the game following Daylen Lile’s run-scoring single with two out in the seventh. The Brewers climbed to a season-best 16 games above .500 at 56-40.

Peralta made his 20th start of the season and relinquished his second All-Star selection. Reliever Trevor Megill took Peralta’s spot and joins rookie right-hander Jacob Misiorowski on the NL team.

Chourio hit a three-run homer and Turang added a solo shot, all in the eighth, for Milwaukee.

Washington’s Jake Irvin (7-5) allowed four hits in five innings with five strikeouts.

Brewers right fielder Sal Frelick left the game in the third after making a sliding catch in foul territory. The team said he had left hamstring soreness.

“His hamstring last week (he) was feeling it a little bit, and he was cautious,” manager Pat Murphy said. “He got treatment for it.”

Murphy said Frelick was getting an MRI after the game.

Shortstop C.J. Abrams was scratched from Washington’s lineup due to minor right-shoulder soreness. Paul DeJong got the start.

Key moment

Nationals third baseman Brady House’s fielding error opened the door for three unearned runs in the Brewers’ third, highlighted by Anthony Seigler’s two-run single for his first career RBIs.

Key stat

Peralta walked one, struck out seven and improved to 7-0 in 10 starts at American Family Field.

Up next

The Brewers play at the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Nationals host the Padres. Both series start Friday.
