MLB Note - Texas Rangers Perez, Martin

Aug 15, 2017 - 9:11 AM LHP Martin Perez (7-10) posted his second consecutive victory in Texas' 6-2 win over Detroit on Monday, giving up two runs -- both on Justin Upton's homer in the first inning -- six hits and a walk. He struck out two. Perez has allowed two runs in his last 14 innings. "I think I've got confidence now," Perez said. "When that happens to a pitcher, you can do whatever you want with the ball, and you compete. It's not easy to go out there and face a good hitter, but when you've got confidence, you compete and do your job."
