Perez (8-8) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks over four innings as Atlanta was downed 4-1 by the Brewers. He struck out two.
Perez's own error in the third inning helped soften the blow to his ERA, but the veteran southpaw still needed 97 pitches (58 strikes) to record just 12 outs. He's been feast or famine since the All-Star break, holding the opposition scoreless in four outings but stumbling to a 5.14 ERA in his other three. Perez will look to bounce back in his next start, which is set to come at home next weekend against the Rockies.
