PEORIA, Ill. -- The Peoria Chiefs picked up their first shutout win of the season Sunday as they blanked the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 2-0 in the final meeting between the two teams in 2021.

Wilfredo Pereira led the charge for the Chiefs as he made his second start of the series against Wisconsin. He picked up the win this time around, posting five shutout innings while striking out three.

The bullpen covered the rest of the contest, as they twirled four more shutout frames. Right-handers Enmanuel Solano, Fabian Blanco and Freddy Pacheco teamed up to complete Peoria’s first shutout win since August 21, 2019.

The offense broke through in the middle innings for Peoria. With men on the corners in the fifth inning, Matt Chamberlain singled to right field to give the Chiefs a 1-0 lead. An inning later, Moises Castillo homered for the second day in a row to double the Peoria lead to 2-0. The offense was more than enough as the Chiefs picked up their third win in their last four contests.

The Chiefs are off on Monday but return to action on Tuesday in the Quad Cities. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
