Geraldo Perdomo went 3-for-4 with two triples, a walk, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the White Sox 11-7. The shortstop’s extra-base barrage gave Arizona a needed jolt in a game that turned into a higher-scoring win than the club had probably planned.
Perdomo has now hit safely in six straight games and is 12-for-23 over that stretch, a.522 run that includes all three of his triples this season. Through 23 contests, he is batting.260 with an.782 OPS, along with six stolen bases, six RBI, 11 runs scored, one home run and three doubles. That is a sharper start than the line suggested at first glance, but it still comes after a clear step back in most areas early in 2026 compared with the 20-homer, 100-RBI breakthrough he put together over 161 games in 2025.
The recent surge matters because it has come after the slow opening stretch that made Perdomo’s early numbers look ordinary. Arizona has leaned on him for production at the top and in the middle of the lineup, and the six-game streak is starting to move his season line closer to the version of him the club saw a year ago. For a player whose game depends as much on consistent contact and pace on the bases as on power, Wednesday was the kind of night that can shift the tone of a week.
The tension is that the explosive stretch has not yet erased the bigger question around how sustainable this start is. Perdomo’s 2025 season set a high bar with 20 homers and 100 RBI, but 2026 has opened with fewer impact swings and a step back in most categories. His two triples Wednesday were his first reminder in a while that he can still change a game with speed and gap power, and Arizona will keep watching whether that version of him is the one that holds.
