MILWAUKEE - Tyrell Jenkins pitched six strong innings, Nick Markakis and Adonis Garcia drove in a run each in the seventh inning and the Atlanta Braves beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Jenkins (2-2) allowed one run and three hits in six innings. He walked three and struck out three in his sixth career start and 10th major league appearance. The right-hander has a 1.00 ERA over his past three starts.
His only mistake was Ryan Braun's home run in the fourth.
Mauricio Cabrera pitched the ninth for his third save.
Jonathan Villar hit into a 4-6-3 double play in the eighth, but the Brewers challenged the force out at second and the call was overturned because shortstop Erick Aybar missed the base. Braves interim manager Brian Snitker then asked the umpires to review Manny Piña's slide into second base, and the slide was deemed legal.
Chaz Roe took over and got the final out when Orlando Arcia grounded to third and Piña ran into the tag.
The victory was the Braves' 10th in the last 14 games, including six in the last seven.
Wily Peralta (4-8) was recalled Monday when the Brewers placed right-hander Junior Guerra on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation.
Peralta matched his season highs with six innings and six strikeouts. He allowed two harmless hits through six innings, but then ran into trouble in the top of the seventh when the Braves went ahead.
Peralta walked Freddie Freeman before Matt Kemp singled. Markakis followed with an RBI hit that chased Peralta. Garcia welcomed reliever Michael Blazek with a run-scoring hit.
Peralta, the 2016 opening day starter, was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on June 12. He made 13 starts before the demotion and had just two quality starts, none in his last six.
DON'T RUN ON ME
Anthony Recker strayed too far off second in the top of the third and catcher Piña recorded his second caught stealing of the game when he fired a strike to shortstop Arcia. In the first, Piña threw out Ender Inciarte trying to steal second.
AYBAR STILL STREAKING
Aybar extended his season-high hitting streak to 14 games with an infield single in the fourth off Peralta.
STREAK IS OVER
Ender Inciarte went 0 for 3 with a walk, snapping his career-best hitting streak at 19 games.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Braves: RHP Chris Withrow is in Atlanta for additional tests after being placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday with right elbow inflammation. The Braves activated Roe, who had been claimed on outright waivers from the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. He was 1-0 with a 3.72 ERA in nine appearances for Baltimore.
Brewers: OF Domingo Santana started in right field and went 0 for 2 with a strikeout in his second game of a rehab assignment with Class A Wisconsin.
UP NEXT
Braves: RHP Joel De La Cruz (0-4, 3.41 ERA) makes his fifth start of the season and first against Milwaukee.
Brewers: RHP Chase Anderson (6-10, 5.01) makes his first start against the Braves this season. He beat them 6-5 while with Arizona in his only career start on June 8, 2014.
