Perkins (2-5) took the loss Thursday against the Tigers, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings.
The right-hander entered behind opener Jose Suarez, who recorded four outs without a baserunner. Perkins was hurt by the long ball, surrendering a solo homer to Jake Rogers to open the scoring before Zach McKinstry added a two-run blast later in the outing. Across seven starts and bulk-relief appearances this year, Perkins has struggled to an 8.19 ERA with zero wins.
