Braves starter Williams Perez posted his second consecutive quality outing, as he allowed three runs on eight hits over six innings in a loss to the Mets on Saturday. Perez walked three and struck out three, throwing 54 of 86 pitches for strikes.
Perez was handed a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but he allowed the Mets to scratch across two runs in the fourth--thanks in-part to a pair of wild pitches. The Mets tacked on another in the sixth to take a 4-1 lead.
But the Braves rallied to tie the game, only to wind up losing the affair by a score of 6-4. Perez did not factor in the final decision.
Over his last six starts, Perez is 1-3 with a 7.94 ERA.
