Throws six scoreless frames in win
Perez (8-6) earned the win against the Mets on Tuesday, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out two across six scoreless innings.
Analysis
Perez allowed at least one baserunner in five of the six innings he pitched Tuesday, but the only time the Mets advanced a runner to third base was in the sixth, which ended with a 4-6-3 double play. Perez has now tossed 16 straight scoreless innings spanning three starts and sits at a 2.96 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 106.1 innings this season. His next start is lined up for next week on the road against the Twins in what projects to be a two-start week for the veteran southpaw.

Strong start shortened by rain
Perez tossed three scoreless and hitless innings in a no-decision against Miami on Thursday, issuing one walk and striking out three batters.
Analysis
Perez cruised through three frames, throwing 22 of 35 pitches for strikes and limiting the Marlins to one baserunner (on a second-inning walk that was quickly wiped out by a double play). However, inclement weather delayed the game for over an hour, and Atlanta manager Walt Weiss elected to not send Perez back to the mound after play resumed. Perez nonetheless made another strong impression, improving his season ERA to 3.14. He's now given up just one hit and zero runs across 10 innings over his past two starts. Perez is now projected to next take the mound -- presumably with a pretty fresh arm -- at home versus the Mets early next week.
