LOS ANGELES -- David Peralta is often overlooked when it comes to national attention, but the D-backs outfielder showed once again just how important he is with a three-run homer that proved to be the difference in a 3-1 win over the Dodgers on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium.
With the victory, the D-backs increased their National League West lead over the third-place Dodgers to two games with three games remaining in this series. Arizona began the day a half-game ahead of the Rockies, who went into extra innings vs. the Padres in San Diego.
