Peralta went 4-for-5 with two RBI in Thursday's 6-0 victory over the Reds.
Peralta certainly did his part to help the Dodgers snap their five-game losing streak Thursday, delivering a two-out, two-run single in the top of the third to put Los Angeles up 3-0 while reaching base in each of his first three at-bats.
