His ERA is now down to 1.93 with 22 K’s in 18 2/3 innings. He’s given up just 11 hits and three walks (0.75 WHIP).
Geraldo Perdomo, SS,D-backs' No. 7and Seth Beer, 1B/OF, D-backs' No. 4 Perdomo deposited the third pitch of the game over the wall in right center field for his first AFL home run and finished 1-for-4 from the leadoff spot. With a .313 average and .824 OPS through 17 games, the 19-year-old shortstop has been anything but overmatched against advanced competition this fall. Beer scored a run and reached base three times, going 2-for-3 with a double and a walk. More »
