Martin Perez shines, Pirates edge Giants 4-3
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, Apr 28th 8:53am EDT
Martin Perez delivered a solid performance, tossing six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out four in Saturday's narrow 4-3 victory over the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his commendable outing, Perez did not factor into the decision, leaving his season record at an unchanged 1-1. His season ERA dipped to an impressive 2.86, complementing a slightly elevated WHIP of 1.36. While his strikeout numbers remain modest at 7.0 K/9, his ability to limit runs significantly boosts his fantasy value, especially in formats that reward ERA and WHIP. Perez's consistent performance, underscored by a solid 3.37 FIP, suggests he could be a reliable mid-rotation option for fantasy managers, though his low strikeout totals may limit his ceiling in strikeout-heavy leagues.
