Martin Perez shaky in Rangers' Tuesday win over Oakland

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Martin Perez gave up four runs on nine hits in a win against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday.

What It Means:

Perez got tons of run support, which erased his shaky outing. He only struck out one batter, but the young Rangers' starter is still having a solid season. He will get a chance to improve on his last outing on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Perez owns a 3.38 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 85 1/3 innings pitched this season. Our models project him to have a 4.24 ERA through 95 2/3 innings pitched remaining this season.
