Perdomo Powers Diamondbacks: Key Win and Close to MLB Wild Card

Santo Domingo. Dominican shortstop Geraldo Perdomo had an outstanding performance, going 3-3, including a hit, a double, and a triple in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 8-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. This result brings the Diamondbacks to within only one and a half games of the last Wild Card spot in the National League. Perdomo, who is having his best offensive season with a .290 average, was a home run away from completing the cycle and led an offense that connected for nine hits. On the mound, Zac Gallen pitched six dominant innings, allowing only two hits and one run, in addition to striking out six to secure Arizona’s victory. For the Giants, the offense failed to react. Dominicans Willy Adames and Rafael Devers went hitless in four at-bats each. Reliever Joel Peguero allowed two runs in just one-third of an inning.
