Martin Perez

Martin Perez gave up four runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out two over four innings in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

Perez himself made the error that set the Brewers up for a three-run third inning Saturday. The veteran lefty allowed an additional tally in the fourth, which turned out to be his final frame after 97 pitches. Perez rolled off 16 consecutive scoreless innings over his first three starts this month. However, he's not been nearly as sharp during two starts this week. Perez will move forward with a still solid 3.12 ERA over 115 1/3 innings for the year.

Martin Perez gave up four runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

Perez had been completely locked in on the mound coming into this start, as he had rolled off 16 straight scoreless innings. Well, that groove ended quickly on Monday, as he immediately surrendered four runs while allowing the first six batters he faced to reach. Perez did impressively rebound after that, holding the Twins to those four runs over the next five frames. The Braves' bats, however, were unable to overcome the four-run deficit. Perez still holds a nice 3.15 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 24 games (20 starts) on the season. He's scheduled for a tough assignment this weekend in Milwaukee.

Martin Perez turned in six scoreless innings in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Mets, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out two.

Fantasy Impact

Perez delivered yet again for the Braves on Tuesday night, as the crafty veteran earned his eighth win of the season and 99th of his career. Perez has now worked 16 straight shutout innings over three outings this month, posting a 0.69 WHIP and 60.0% ground-ball rate. He's struck out 11 and induced four double plays during this stretch. Perez has been a fairly unsung hero for the Braves' rotation this year. He'll look to keep rolling Monday in Minnesota.

Martin Perez faced the minimum through three innings in Thursday's 11-3 win over the Marlins, allowing no hits and a walk while striking out three.

Fantasy Impact

Prior to a rain delay in Atlanta on Thursday night, Perez had picked up right where he left off in last Saturday's brilliant outing. The veteran lefty could not be more comfortable on the mound right now, as he's given up just one hit and three walks across 10 scoreless innings between his last two starts. Perez has his ERA down to an excellent 3.14 to go with a 1.15 WHIP and 78 strikeouts through 100 1/3 on the year.

Martin Perez allowed just one hit and two walks while striking out six over seven scoreless innings in Saturday's 5-0 win against the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

Thrust into this start after scheduled pitcher Reynaldo Lopez (knee) was a late scratch, Perez responded to the call with his best performance of the season to date. The veteran lefty carried a no-hitter through 6 2/3 innings and finished off seven full frames for the first time this year. Perez improved to 7-6 with the win, dropping his ERA to a nice 3.24 on the campaign.
