Atlanta Braves

Geraldo Perdomo was determined he would not be intimidated by Atlanta’s five-run first inning.  “I just said to my teammates, `If they do it, we can do it back,’” Perdomo said.  Perdomo gave Arizona the lead with a two-run double in the ninth inning and the Diamondbacks took advantage of Atlanta’s worst pitching effort of the season to beat the Braves 16-13 on Tuesday night.  The NL East-leading Braves have lost three straight. Arizona snapped a four-game losing streak.  RHP Charlie Morton (10-6, 3.20) will try to remain unbeaten against Arizona when he faces RHP Ryne Nelson (5-5, 4.98) on Wednesday night. Morton is 3-0 in three career starts against the Diamondbacks.
