Perez (5-5) picked up the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
Perez retired seven of the first eight batters he faced before issuing two free passes in the top of the third. The veteran right-hander was able to work his way out of the jam, however, and allowed just one run through five frames before again running into trouble in the sixth. Perez would then be relieved by Bryan Hoeing with one out in the inning, though the former was still able to log his fifth win of the campaign and his third as a member of the Padres. He's now allowed one run or fewer in each of his last three starts and carries a very strong 1.08 ERA in September to go along with a 13:5 K:BB.
