Braves starter Williams Perez battled, but picked up his fourth win of the season on Saturday. The young right-hander gave up four runs on five hits to the Mets over six innings of work. He walked two and struck out five, improving his record to 4-0.
Perez gave up a couple of runs in the first inning to put his team down early. But the Braves were able to come back and grab a 4-2 lead. Perez the proceeded to give up solo home runs to Curtis Granderson and Travis d'Arnaud in the fifth and sixth innings respectively to tie the game 4-4.
The Braves mounted another comeback, however, and it was enough to secure the victory for the 24-year-old. Perez will take his impressive 2.78 ERA into his next start, which is scheduled for Friday in Pittsburgh.
