Perez didn't factor in the decision against the Giants on Wednesday. He tossed 5.2 innings in which he allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks while fanning two.
Perez surrendered his third homer of the season, but other than that he was pretty decent. The 25-year-old righty doesn't get lots of strikeouts and he walks too many batters, but he's done an excellent job to avoid the damage a combination like that might produce. Perez has allowed three or fewer runs in six of his eight starts this season. His next start is scheduled against the Padres on the road Monday.
