Perez threw 3.1 shutout innings, allowed two hits and three walks, and received a no-decision in Tuesday's start against the Dodgers. He struck out one.
Perez started on three days rest as Julio Teheran had his next start pushed back to Wednesday and was pulled after 56 pitches as a result. Perez only induced one swinging strike and was nibbling the zone, as he threw just 31 strikes. Staying away worked for him, though, as the Dodgers made weak contact all night and only managed a pair of singles on 10 balls in play. Perez's ERA is down to 5.11.
