Perez allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk with two strikeouts across just three innings in Sunday's start versus the Rays.
The lefty was extremely hittable Sunday, and while he induced his MLB-best 40th double play, he was scored upon twice in the second and once more in the third before being lifted from the game. Perez strung together four excellent starts from Aug. 31 to Sept. 19, but yielded 10 earned runs over his final two starts and will enter the postseason on a sour note. It remains to be seen whether Perez will be part of the starting rotation in the playoffs, but if he is, his immense home-road splits could certainly come into play.
