Martin Perez allowed one run on six hits and two walks while striking out two across 4 1/3 innings in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Perez pitched well for the most part Sunday, but he exited in the fifth inning with one out and the bases juiced. The Braves were already trailing 1-0 at that point, and it looked like the Astros might break it open, but the Atlanta bullpen came through. Perez walked away from this start with a strong season ERA of 3.04 through 142 innings. The veteran lefty had played a very significant role in the Braves' NL East title run.

Martin Perez allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out two across six innings in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

The Braves were trailing 3-2 after six innings Tuesday night, but Ozzie Albies launched a clutch, two-run homer in the top of the seventh while Perez was still the pitcher of record for the Braves. The Atlanta bullpen handled things from that point forward, leading to career victory number 100 for Perez. The veteran southpaw has been somewhat of an unsung hero for the Braves this season, as he's delivered a 3.07 ERA across 137 2/3 innings in 29 appearances (25 starts). His next start will likely come Tuesday in Atlanta against the Reds. Perez has put up a stellar 1.80 ERA at home this season.

Martin Perez fired seven scoreless frames in Thursday's 3-1 over the Rays, allowing only four hits and two walks while striking out four.

Fantasy Impact

This contest remained locked in a scoreless tie until the bottom of the eighth, so Perez was not credited with a win. Still, the veteran lefty was outstanding, rebounding from a lackluster performance in Philadelphia last time out. Perez has been sensational on the home mound in Atlanta this season, putting up a 1.80 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through 75 innings. His next start will be a tough assignment on the road against the Cubs.
