Chris Perez lost his sixth game of the season on Monday, giving up an unearned, game-winning run to the Mariners in a non-save situation.
Perez seriously lacked control in this one. Facing Seattle's 7-8-9 hitters in a tie game, he hit the first two batters and then dropped Trayvon Robinson's sacrifice bunt to load the bases. Franklin Gutierrez's one-out sacrifice fly turned out to be the game winner. A tough loss for Cleveland's closer, who has yielded no earned runs and only one hit in his last seven appearances.
