Martin Perez stumbles in tight loss to Rockies
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sat, May 4th 8:54am EDT
Martin Perez allowed three earned runs on eight hits and zero walks while striking out four over 5 1/3 innings in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a decent ERA of 3.15 coming into the game, Perez's performance this season has been somewhat inconsistent, as evidenced by his 1.38 WHIP and a BABIP of .325, suggesting he's been somewhat unlucky with balls in play. His strikeout rate remains modest at 7.0 K/9, and his FIP at 3.48 indicates his ERA might be slightly flattering. Fantasy managers should view Perez as a risky play, depending on the matchup, as his limited strikeout ability caps his upside.
