Braves starting pitcher Williams Perez (7-6) tossed six scoreless innings in a win over the Nationals on Wednesday, allowing six hits and three walks.
He struck out three.While the final numbers are unsightly (4.78 ERA, 1.55 WHIP), Perez finished the season strong. He threw quality starts in four of his final five starts and picked up three wins during that span to push his record above .500.
His late-season success likely won't be enough to push him onto the standard mixed-league radar, but Perez should at least compete for a starting role in spring training.
