Postgame 3 Press Conference

Diamondbacks - 4, Dodgers - 2

Q. For the Dodgers organization, how did you do it so thoroughly to beat them in three games the way you did?

GERALDO PERDOMO: It's amazing, we played really good baseball early in the season. We played really good baseball against these guys. They beat us when we were struggling a little bit. At the interview three days ago, the first game in LA, I said we had a fresh mind right now.

Like everything started from the beginning. Nobody believed in us and I think God put us in a good way right now.

KETEL MARTE: I feel good. A lot of people didn't feel in us, but the important thing for us is to continue to do the little things. We have an incredible amount of talent there.

Q. What's it like in the third inning? What's it like to hit four home runs in an inning and be part of it?

GERALDO PERDOMO: It feels amazing. I feel like we didn't expect we would hit for a homer. I just tried to make really good swings, tried to get on base. But I think Johnny has a phrase to us, like, three or four years ago, the party is at front. And so I started the party and Marte followed me.

KETEL MARTE: It feels good. It doesn't surprise me at all. We have a lot of talent in that clubhouse. It's just time for us to win.

Q. Could you describe what it was like to play in front of that atmosphere tonight?

GERALDO PERDOMO: It feels amazing, really amazing. When they say it was going to be sold out. I didn't expect it was going to be like that. But wow, it reminded me of playing winter ball in the playoff. Down there it was loud, a lot of fans (indiscernible) against (indiscernible). The crowd today was incredible.

KETEL MARTE: I played in environments like that again. It was great to have that support. When you have that kind of support, that kind of crowd, it lifts up your spirits and gives you motivation.
