Geraldo Perdomo hit a two-out, game-winning single in the ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks recovered from an early four-run deficit to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4 on Tuesday night, keeping pace in the National League wild- card race.

The D-backs are one game behind the New York Mets for the final NL wild card, tied with the Cincinnati Reds.

Arizona trailed 4-3 entering the ninth but Perdomo ripped a two-out single to left field off Dodgers closer Tanner Scott (1-4) that scored Tim Tawa from second base for the winning run.

Jorge Barrosa tied the game earlier in the ninth with a sacrifice fly to deep left.

The Dodgers are now just 1 1/2 games ahead of the San Diego Padres for the NL West lead.
