David Peralta Powers Padres Past Pirates in Close Contest
by Chase Davis | Padres Correspondent | Fri, Aug 9th 8:40am EDT
David Peralta contributed significantly to the Padres' narrow 7-6 victory over the Pirates, going 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a crucial home run and a single, driving in two runs while scoring once himself. Despite a modest season with a .242 batting average and only four home runs, Peralta's ability to produce in key moments, like this game, offers some upside for fantasy managers. However, his limited power numbers and sporadic RBI production suggest he remains a fringe fantasy option, best suited for deeper leagues or as a fill-in based on matchups. His current form shows some signs of potential, but consistency will be key to increasing his fantasy relevance.
