Rangers starting pitcher Martin Perez (7-3) was not at his best but escaped with his seventh win of the season Friday night against the White Sox. The left-hander allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over seven innings of an 11-5 victory.

Perez has allowed seven runs over his last 14 innings pitched. He is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at Seattle. He is 1-0 with a 2.19 ERA in two starts against the Mariners this season.
