Impact Perez had his worst outing since being acquired by the Padres but still pitched well enough to keep them in the game. He blanked the Twins through three innings before Ryan Jeffers took him deep in the fourth to put them ahead 2-1. Perez then found himself with bases loaded and nobody out in the fifth. Things could've taken a turn for the worst but was helped out on a sacrifice fly to left that turned into a double play after Austin Martin was thrown out at home in a rundown. Perez has given up a home run in each of his last four starts but has been an ideal fill-in as the Padres fifth pitcher while they wait for Yu Darvish (personal) to make his way back to the team. For the year, Perez owns a 4.67 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 86:36 K:BB in 106 innings. He lines up to face the Mets on Sunday to complete a two-start week.
