WASHINGTON -- The D-backs struggled to get much going against Jeremy Hellickson on Saturday, but David Peralta did enough damage to drive the Nationals starter out of the game in Arizona's 10-inning, 4-3 victory.
Peralta bashed a pair of solo home runs against Hellickson, who held the rest of Arizona's lineup to 3-for-16 during his 5 1/3 innings. It marked the first multi-homer game of Peralta's career.
"I had a pretty good approach against Hellickson; I was more patient and let the ball get deep," Peralta said. "I put a good swing on those balls and it worked out really well for me. We just have to keep doing it."

Arizona's leadoff hitter belted his first home run of the game in the fourth inning, opening the frame with a shot to left field on an 0-1 curveball. The home run was projected to travel 358 feet and had an exit velocity of 105.6 mph, according to Statcast™.
Two innings later, with the Nationals clinging to a 2-1 lead, Peralta led off the sixth with another blast, this one going into the right-field seats. Peralta hit a 2-1 slider, launching it 429 feet with an exit velocity of 111.7 mph.

The second blast was the third-hardest-hit homer Statcast™ has ever tracked for Peralta. He had a 112.7-mph home run against John Lackey on Aug. 11, 2017, and a 115.3-mph blast against Ryan Vogelsong on April 7, 2015, each of those coming at Chase Field.
