Braves starting pitcher Williams Perez (6-6) yielded a single run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over 5.2 innings in Friday's win over Philadelphia.
After being knocked around for much of the summer, Perez has strung together three consecutive solid outings. In those starts, Perez is 2-0 with a 2.89 ERA and a 7.71 K/9 rate. Perez allows too many base runners, posting a 1.57 WHIP for the season and a 1.29 WHIP over his last three starts, to warrant being picked up this season, but a few more starts like this could set a promising foundation for 2016 for the young righty.
