Perez allowed just two runs on four hits and didn't walk a batter over seven innings but left with a no-decision Monday against the Angels.
Perez has a four-game quality start streak as he has found his top form of the season at exactly the right time for the Rangers. He has allowed just six earned runs over 25.1 innings (2.13 ERA) in those four starts despite a mediocre 15:8 K:BB. But Perez has a great defense pitching behind him (and now an excellent defensive catcher in Jonathan Lucroy), and his pitch-to-contact style has been perfect for the back of the Rangers' rotation this season.
