MLB Note - Texas Rangers Perez, Martin

Sep 25, 2017 - 8:55 AM LHP Martin Perez (12-12) allowed five runs on six hits over 4 2/3 innings with two strikeouts and a season-high-tying four walks on Sunday afternoon in an 8-1 loss at Oakland. After winning seven straight starts, Perez has gone 0-2 in his past three starts. "I think control was a little bit off," Rangers acting manager Steve Buechele said. "Four walks. He got some ground balls that snuck their way through, but I think overall today was just one those where he was just a little bit out of rhythm and didn't have the command and crispness he's had in his last few starts."
