Perez (7-6) gave up six runs (five earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in Friday's 6-0 loss to the Cubs. He also recorded a strikeout.
Perez pitched to plenty of contact, notching only a single swinging strike on the afternoon. The 25-year-old was fairly solid with his control, getting 18 first-pitch strikes on 27 of the batters he faced, but received no run support while giving up plenty of timely hits to the Cubs. The southpaw has now dropped two straight decisions, and will try to right the ship next Wednesday versus the Angels.
