Perez did not factor into the decision Friday against the Marlins. He surrendered eight hits, three earned runs and two walks over 4.1 innings.
The 24-year-old right-hander failed to get out of the fifth inning for the second time in two starts. He did induce a whopping 17 groundballs over his 73 pitches, and he did just enough to keep the Marlins at bay to the point where the Braves were eventually able to secure their first victory. Perez will need to bolster his overall performance going forward however, as he's posted a 7.00 ERA and 1.78 WHIP this season.
