AI Summary
Martin Perez recorded 10 strikeouts for the first time in his 15-season career while allowing 4 runs in 5 innings against the Marlins. Despite the milestone strikeout achievement, it was a mixed performance with hard contact allowed and both walks scoring.
15 seasons and 285 starts into his career, Perez finally reaches double figures. He'd struck out nine four times previously. In spite of the strikeouts, it wasn't a great game for Perez, as six of the 11 balls in play against him were hit hard. Also, both batters he walked came around to score. Still, Perez has a 2.85 ERA through 41 innings. He'll face the Nationals on Sunday.
