Perez (7-5) allowed 11 runs, seven of which were earned, on nine hits and two walks while striking out one over four innings to take the loss Wednesday at the Red Sox.
After giving up a pair of runs in the first inning, Perez then gave up five more in the second inning, and the Rangers were on their way to a loss. This was the first time he's allowed more than four earned runs in a start over his last 14 outings, and he now has a 3.85 ERA to go along with a 1.42 WHIP. His next start will be after the All-Star break.
