Peralta went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.
Peralta took Luis Ortiz deep to lead off the fifth to extend the Padres' lead to 2-0. It was the only extra-base hit of the evening for the Padres. The home run was also his third this month after he had just two total coming into August. He's enjoying a productive month despite not getting everyday at-bats, slashing .367/.424/.767 with nine RBI and six runs scored across 33 plate appearances. For the year, Peralta is slashing .262/.323/.414 with five homers, 19 RBI, 20 runs, a steal and an 11:33 BB:K in 158 plate appearances.
