Perdomo and Gallen help surging Diamondbacks inch closer in playoff race with
8-1 win over Giants
PHOENIX (AP) --- Geraldo Perdomo went 3 for 3 with a double, a triple and two
RBIs, Zac Gallen pitched six smooth innings and the surging Arizona
Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants 8-1 on Monday night.
Arizona, which has won three straight and 12 of 18, moved a half-game ahead of
San Francisco for third place in the NL West, just 1 1/2 games behind the idle
New York Mets for the last National League wild card.
Gallen (12-14) allowed one run and two hits with six strikeouts.
Ildemaro Vargas' two-run single gave the Diamondbacks a 3-1 lead in a six-run
sixth. Jordan Lawlar doubled in a run, James McCann hit a two-run homer and
Perdomo added an RBI triple to make it 7-1.
Perdomo also walked twice on a perfect night at the plate in the leadoff spot.
The Giants mustered only two hits, matching their season low in a July 29 loss
to Pittsburgh, and lost for the fourth time in five games.
Perdomo walked in the first and Ketel Marte was hit by the next pitch before
back-to-back strikeouts of Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno. Perdomo advanced
to third on a passed ball by catcher Patrick Bailey and then scored on a
throwing error by starter Kai-Wei Teng to make it 1-0.
Casey Schmitt homered in the third to tie it.
Top prospect Bryce Eldridge, a 20-year-old first baseman, made his major league
debut for the Giants and finished 0 for 3 with a strikeout. His 407-foot flyout
to center field in the seventh would have been a home run in 23 big league
ballparks, including Oracle Park in San Francisco.
Key moment Carroll doubled leading off the Arizona sixth before Joel Peguero relieved Matt Gage (0-1). Moreno and Blaze Alexander drew back-to-back walks to load the bases for Vargas.
Key stat Gallen has 1,005 strikeouts with the Diamondbacks, joining Randy Johnson (2,077) and Brandon Webb (1,065) as the only pitchers in club history with at least 1,000.
