Opening Friday Peralta will open Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Randy Vasquez is expected to handle the bulk of innings Friday, but it will be Peralta on the mound to face the formidable trio of Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Will Smith in the first inning of the series opener. The 34-year-old Peralta carries a 3.13 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 54.2 innings on the year and will likely be limited to just one inning of work during his second career MLB start.

Nabs victory in relief Friday Peralta (4-1) earned the win over Washington on Friday, allowing one hit over 1.1 scoreless innings.

Impact Jason Adam gave up a pair of runs in the eighth frame to allow the Nationals to tie the game, and the All-Star reliever was pulled with runners on the corners and two outs. Peralta entered and got out of the inning when Josh Bell was caught attempting to steal second base. San Diego then plated five runs in the top of the ninth, putting Peralta in line for the win, which he closed out with a scoreless bottom of the frame. It was the first time in 14 appearances that the southpaw was involved in a decision -- over his previous 13 outings, he had no wins, losses, holds, or saves but logged a solid 2.51 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB across 14.1 innings.

Logs one-pitch hold Peralta earned a hold against Milwaukee on Sunday, retiring the only batter he faced on one pitch.

Impact Peralta entered in the bottom of the seventh inning with San Diego up 1-0 and with runners on first and second base. The southpaw threw a 94 mph sinker to Brice Turang, who lined out to shortstop to end the frame. Peralta thus notched his first hold since April 16 against the Cubs. He has a mediocre 3.81 ERA and has struggled with his control this season, issuing 14 walks over 28.1 innings, but take away a six-run blowup against the Yankees in early May and Peralta would have a 1.95 ERA across 27 games.
