EDGE Analysis

Perdomo's homer was his 20th, the first time he's reached that milestone. While other regulars were given the day off after Arizona was eliminated from the postseason Friday, Perdomo insisted on playing his 160th game, per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. There's a good chance he adds to that Sunday, as Perdomo is one RBI shy of a 20-100 year entering the final game of the regular season. It's been a remarkable year of development for Perdomo, whose 6.9 bWAR is among MLB leaders and tops position players in the NL.

Perdomo went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one walk and one stolen base in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

Perdomo is up to 27 steals on the year, though he's logged just three of them over 22 contests in September. He's still hit well this month, batting .325 (27-for-83) with 11 extra-base hits. The shortstop's strong performance is giving him a positive note to end the season on -- he's at a .291/.391/.461 slash line with 19 home runs, 98 RBI, 97 runs scored, 33 doubles and five triples through 159 games.

Perdomo went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers.

The Diamondbacks were down a run entering the bottom of the ninth inning, but contributions came from the bottom of the order and eventually Perdomo produced a walk-off win. The shortstop singled in the game-winning run, and the two-hit night extended a hit streak to 12 games, during which he's slashing .409/.536/.682 with seven extra-base hits (two HR), nine walks, two steals and seven RBI. His strong finish highlights what has been a breakout season worthy of MVP consideration. Perdomo has a 6.9 fWAR (fifth in MLB) and 6.8 bWAR (third).

EDGE Analysis

Perdomo put San Francisco on its back foot early, connecting on a leadoff homer in the first inning and then delivering a run-scoring single on his next at-bat one inning later. Despite a recent four-hit game, the shortstop's bat has been relatively quiet since the end of August; he entered Wednesday's game 8-for-47 (.170) over the previous 12 contests. The slump does nothing to diminish Perdomo's contributions in the second half, as he's slashed .319/.406/.465 since the All-Star break and is up to 18 home runs, 93 RBI and 25 steals over 146 games.

Perdomo went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Perdomo's bat had gone a little quiet over the previous week -- he was just 3-for-29 across his previous seven games. The shortstop started the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning and added an RBI single in the eighth to help fend off the Red Sox's late push. Perdomo is up to a .287/.385/.452 slash line with 17 homers, 90 RBI, 88 runs scored and 24 stolen bases over 141 contests in an excellent breakout campaign at age 25.
