Perez (9-10) allowed seven hits over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Angels on Thursday. He struck out three and did not issue a walk.
This was Perez's best outing of the season and he now has three quality starts in his last four turns, but he's also had six-, seven- and eight-run blowups within the past month. Martin has a bottom-three strikeout rate among qualified starters and remains far from a trusted fantasy option. He lines up to face the Astros in his next start.
