EDGE Analysis
Entering Thursday, Perez had been dominant across his previous six outings, posting a 1.06 ERA with 37 strikeouts. However, he struggled to miss bats in this one, managing just one punchout while getting tagged for a season high in earned runs. The 22-year-old will look to rebound and recapture his sharp form in his next scheduled start, lined up for next week against the Guardians.
