"In three games, Perez has allowed five runs over 14 1/3 innings for a 3.14 ERA. He’s never really been a strikeout pitcher and has just six this season, but has managed well with a 0.91 WHIP."
"Atlanta will be looking for Perez to set the tone against Philadelphia as it looks to move back atop the NL East this season after a two-year lull."
"The Phillies enter this series with an 8-10 record having lost three straight series, most recently losing two of three to Arizona and the Chicago Cubs at home."
"After the Braves had won the regular-season series against the Phillies each of the last four years, Philadelphia claimed the season series for the first time since 2019."
Martin Perez was designated for assignment after a five-inning performance but chose free agency upon clearing waivers. He rejoined the Braves on a minor league contract and was added back to the roster. In his 15th major league season, Perez has performed well as a fill-in starter, posting a 3.14 ERA over 14 1/3 innings. The Braves hope he can help them regain the top position in the NL East against the struggling Philadelphia Phillies, who have lost three straight series.
