Perez (7-4) allowed two runs (one earned) on eight hits and one walk while striking out three over 5.1 innings to pick up the win over the Angels on Monday.
Perez was able to snare his seventh win despite pitching fewer than six innings for the 14th time in 17 starts. The left-hander got a big hand from his defense, as Boston outfielders threw out two baserunners, including one at home plate. Perez is expected to pitch the final game of the first half, which will be Sunday at home against the Phillies.
