Perez (8-4) struck out four but took the loss Saturday, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings in a 5-1 loss to the White Sox.
The southpaw delivered his eighth quality start of the year but wasn't rewarded for it when Minnesota's bats went uncharacteristically silent. Perez now sports a 4.38 ERA and 97:46 K:BB through 111 innings, and while his next outing is scheduled for Friday against the Royals, he could be bumped if the Twins bolster their rotation at the trade deadline.
