MILWAUKEE -- Freddy Peralta can’t be sure what awaits the Brewers in Toronto this weekend in a matchup between two teams with the best records in the Majors.
But he predicts everyone will be well-fed.
“Vlad [Guerrero Jr.], his grandmother is serving food to us all the time when we play against him,” said Peralta, referring to Altagracia Alvino, who has been serving traditional Dominican dishes to big leaguers since her son was slugging his way to the Hall of Fame . “Beans, rice, chicken, all of our best food. I would like to meet her at some point.”
Perhaps some of abuela’s home cooking is what the Brewers need to get back on track following Thursday afternoon’s 6-4 loss to the D-backs at American Family Field, a frustrating finish to Milwaukee’s first losing homestand all season.
