“El de Las Matas” pitched three innings. He allowed four hits and one run, walked two, while he struck out two opponents. He didn’t even come out for his fourth inning of work and was immediately replaced by right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski.
It should be noted that Martín Pérez threw 50 pitches (31 for strikes) and his four-seam fastball was above 92mph at the beginning of his work. He ended up throwing it at 87mph. His season average even dropped a mile, which perhaps could have been influenced by the injury.
