Perez (5-4) earned the win Thursday afternoon against the Astros. He tossed six innings, allowing two runs on four hits while walking four and striking out two.
The lefty pushed his record north of .500 with his fourth consecutive win Thursday. He dropped his ERA a hair to 3.22 and, despite a slow start, is well on his way to the best season of his career. All of Perez's wins this year have come at home, but he'll hit the road in his next start Tuesday against Oakland.
